Murine Denys-Drash syndrome: Evidence of podocyte de-differentiation and systemic mediation of glomerulosclerosis. Human Molecular Genetics, 12(18), 2379-2394. https://doi.org/10.1093/hmg/ddg240

Denys-Drash syndrome (DDS) is caused by dominant mutations of the Wilms' tumour suppressor gene, WT1, and characterized by a nephropathy involving diffuse mesangial sclerosis, male pseudohermaphroditism and/ or Wilms' tumourigenesis. Previously, we r... Read More about Murine Denys-Drash syndrome: Evidence of podocyte de-differentiation and systemic mediation of glomerulosclerosis.

Expression in Xenopus oocytes shows that WT1 binds transcripts in vivo, with a central role for zinc finger one (2003)
Journal Article
Ladomery, M., Sommerville, J., Woolner, S., Slight, J., & Hastie, N. (2003). Expression in Xenopus oocytes shows that WT1 binds transcripts in vivo, with a central role for zinc finger one. Journal of Cell Science, 116(8), 1539-1549. https://doi.org/10.1242/jcs.00324

The Wilms' tumour suppressor gene WT1 encodes a protein involved in urogenital development and disease. The salient feature of WT1 is the presence of four 'Krüppel'-type C2-H2 zinc fingers in the C-terminus. Uniquely to WTI, an evolutionarily conserv...
