Widening the spectrum of players affected by genetic changes in Wilms tumor relapse

iScience
Summary: Few studies investigated the genetics of relapsed Wilms tumor (WT), suggesting the SIX1 gene, the microRNA processing genes, and the MYCN network as possibly involved in a relevant percentage of relapses. We investigated 28 relapsing WT patients
