Registry for Patients With Wilms' Tumor Suppressor Gene 1 (WT1) Mutation Associated Diseases

NCT01252901 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: WT1 Registry
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 52
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The Wilms' tumor suppressor gene 1 (WT1) encodes for a transcription factor which plays an important role during urogenital development. Patients carrying a WT1 germline mutation show symptoms like proteinuria, Wilms tumors, genital malformations and kidney failure. Milder variants are possible and classification is not always possible. In this registry we are collecting detailed clinical data of affected individuals to establish genotype-phenotype correlations with the greater goal to optimize patient care.

Conditions

Denys-Drash Syndrome; Frasier Syndrome; Nephrotic Syndrome; Wilms Tumor

Keywords

WT1; Wilms Tumor; Denys-Drash Syndrome; Nephrotic Syndrome; Proteinuria
