Carcinogenesis can be triggered by a diverse range of molecular lesions,
a variety of which can be illustrated by Wilm's tumor (WT), a pediatric
kidney cancer. Molecular defects observed in WTs include several
independent targets and mechanisms best exemplified by changes on the
short arm of chromosome 11. This article will review the molecular
pathology of WT and emphasize the broader ramifications for cancer
genetics. Consideration will be given to carcinogenic pathways, novel
cellular molecules, and technologies that will assist in the rapid
interpretation and assimilation of DNA sequence data arising from the
sequencing of the human genome.
The above citations and abstracts reflect those newly added to CANCERLIT for the month and topic listed in the title. The citations have been retrieved from CANCERLIT using a predefined search strategy of indexed subject terms. Although the search strategy has been refined as best as possible, citations may appear that are not directly related to the topic, and occasionally relevant references may be omitted.
