Disease: Nephroblastoma
Nephroblastoma
0.500 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE These data suggest that IGF-II may be involved in fetal nephrogenesis, that its expression is inversely coupled to normal epithelial differentiation, and that this differentiation may be aberrantly regulated in Wilms' tumor. 2554059 1989
CUI: C0027708
Disease: Nephroblastoma
Nephroblastoma
0.500 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Since continued expression of N-myc and IGF-II mRNAs is also a characteristic feature of Wilms' tumor, a childhood neoplasm of probable fetal kidney origin, we were particularly interested in the possibility that their expression might be linked or coordinately regulated in the developing kidney. 2537832 1989

0.500 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE These results suggest that underexpression, deletion, or mutation of WT1 may result in increased expression of the IGF-IR, whose activation by IGF-II may be an important aspect of the biology of Wilms tumor. 8390684 1993
CUI: C0027708
Disease: Nephroblastoma
Nephroblastoma
0.500 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Insulin-like growth factor II and WT1 transcript localization in human fetal kidney and Wilms' tumor. 8221652 1993

0.500 Biomarker disease BEFREE But in one child who had generalized somatic overgrowth, IGF2 was transcribed from both alleles in her kidney, peripheral blood leukocytes and Wilms' tumour. 8298652 1993
CUI: C0027708
Disease: Nephroblastoma

0.500 Biomarker disease CTD_human Constitutional loss of IGF2 imprinting in a subgroup of our BWS patients, and recent reports of loss of imprinting in sporadic Wilms tumour, further strengthens the view that IGF2 overexpression plays an important role in somatic overgrowth and the development of embryonal tumours. 8252039 1993
CUI: C0027708
Disease: Nephroblastoma
Nephroblastoma
0.500 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE IGF-II expression is activated in several types of human neoplasms and an alteration of IGF-II imprinting has been described in Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome and Wilms' tumor. 7981680 1994

Disease: Nephroblastoma
Nephroblastoma
0.500 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Using a combination of single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) sequencing techniques, no mutations were identified in the WT1 tumour-suppressor gene from the 11p13 region, but a novel polymorphism was identified in exon 1. mRNA expression studies using the insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II) gene, located in 11p15, showed that there was no relaxation of imprinting at this locus. 7911030 1994
