Wilms Tumor (WT), a sporadic and familial childhood kidney tumor, is genetically heterogeneous. Wilms tumor is associated with mutations of WT1, The WT1 gene is normally expressed in fetal kidney and mesothelium, and its expression has been suggested as a marker for Wilms tumor and mesothelioma (1-2).
Recommended Controls
The criteria for acceptable staining is nuclear. The recommended controls to include is fallopian tube, kidney and ovarian serous carcinoma or prostate cancer. Fallopian tube will show strong staining in all epithelial and smooth muscle cells; kidney will show nuclear staining in podocytes while the epithelial cells of the tubules will be negative. Ovarian serous carcinoma is a strong expressor while the prostate cancer will show no staining in the tumour cells.
Serous adenocarcinaoma
