Table 2 Molecular and phenotypic abnormalities with Wilms's tumour risks in excess of 5%.
Gene | Phenotypes | Tests available | Who should have WT surveillance | WT risk* |
---|---|---|---|---|

Isolated WT | ||||
FWT1/FWT2/ other genes | Familial WT | – | All potential carriers | High |
BRCA2 | Fanconi anaemia D1 | Mutation screen | All with biallelic BRCA2 mutations | High |
(biallelic) | Some childhood cancer clusters | |||
BUB1B, | Mosaic variegated aneuploidy | Karyotype | All | High |
other genes | Mutation screen (research) | |||
Unknown | Perlman syndrome | — | All | High |
11p15 defects | Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome | Karyotype | All with paternal uniparental disomy 11p15 | Moderate |
Some hemihypertrophy cases | 11p15 uniparental disomy | All with isolated H19 hypermethylation | ||
H19 methylation (research) | All with Beckwith–Wiedemann of unknown cause | |||
KvDMR1 methylation | Not those with isolated loss of methylation of KvDMR1‡ | |||
CDKN1C mutation screen (research) | Not those with CDKN1C mutations‡Not those with HH of unknown cause‡ | |||
GPC3 | Simpson–Golabi–Behmel syndrome | Mutation screen | All males with GPC3 mutation/deletion | Moderate |
FISH, fluorescence in situ hybridisation; WAGR, Wilms's tumour‐aniridia‐genitourinary‐mental retardation; WT, Wilms's tumour.
*Risk of developing WT: high>20%, moderate (5–20%).
†The risk of WT associated with WT1 intron 9 splice site mutations/Frasier syndrome is moderate.
‡These individuals are at low risk of WT (<5%).
