Nephroblastoma
0.500 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Paediatric neoplasms, like Wilm's tumor (WT) and rhabdomyosarcoma, often express IGF2 and H19. 7527480 1994
CUI: C0027708
Disease: Nephroblastoma
Nephroblastoma
0.500 PosttranslationalModification disease BEFREE Epigenetic changes encompassing the IGF2/H19 locus associated with relaxation of IGF2 imprinting and silencing of H19 in Wilms tumor. 7534414 1995
CUI: C0027708
Disease: Nephroblastoma

CUI: C0027708
Disease: Nephroblastoma
Nephroblastoma
0.500 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Neuroblastoma, which is an embryonal tumor originating from neural crest-derived cells, occasionally occurs in individuals with the Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome; Wilm's tumor and embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma occur even more frequently in the Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome; and paternal uniparental disomy of H19 and IGF2 loci (chromosome 11p15) is present in the Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. 7614476 1995
CUI: C0027708
Disease: Nephroblastoma
Nephroblastoma
0.500 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE We show here, that in contrast to the situation in Wilms' tumor, H19 expression is not a prerequisite for maintaining a monoallelic IGF2 expression. 7624139 1995
CUI: C0027708
Disease: Nephroblastoma
Nephroblastoma
0.500 Biomarker disease BEFREE This aberrant pattern of promoter imprinting, which was not detected in fetal kidney, provides further evidence that pathological relaxation of IGF2 imprinting is involved in the genesis of Wilms tumour. 7651739 1995
CUI: C0027708
Disease: Nephroblastoma
Nephroblastoma
0.500 Biomarker disease BEFREE Recently, loss of IGF2 imprinting has been reported in Wilms' tumor and in several other malignancies, and it has been suggested that biallelic expression of the gene leads to overexpression of IGF-II peptide and increased mitogenic activity. 7745016 1995
CUI: C0027708

CUI: C0027708
Disease: Nephroblastoma
Nephroblastoma
0.500 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE H19, a putative growth suppressor, is oppositely imprinted to the neighboring insulin-like growth factor II (IGF2) gene and an up-regulation of IGF2 expression has been linked previously to a down-regulation of H19 expression in the progression to Wilms' tumor. 7866996 1995
