Abstract

Constitutional epigenetic defects affecting the 11p15.5 imprinted region cause a number of syndromic conditions involving birth defects. Now, an analysis of a large cohort of individuals with nonsyndromic Wilms tumor demonstrates the presence of known and newly identified constitutional IGF2-H19 imprinting defects, extending the phenotype associated with soma-wide 11p15.5 imprinting disorders.
