Table 1. Epigenetics alterations found in Wilms tumours.

Aberration Finding within Wilms tumour
CASP8 hypermethylation Frequency of 19% and associated with RASSF1A methylation [88]
GLIPR1/RTVP hypomethylation Frequency of 87.5%, results in overexpression [89]
Global hypomethylation Results in genome instability in tumour cells [90, 91].
Gain of methylation at 6p22.1, 6p21.32 and 11q13.5 Biomarker for WT, can be detected in the circulation of patients [92]
HACE1 hypermethylation Frequency of 73% [93]
Hypermethylation of a CTCF binding site downstream of WT1 Correlated with high WT1 expression [94]
Hypermethylation of protocadherin cluster at 5q31 Results in expression loss of these proteins at the cell surface [95]
LOI 11p15 Frequency of 69%, results in overexpression of IGF2 and down-regulation of H19 [29, 36, 96]
P16 hypermethylation Frequency of 23% [97]
RASSF1 hypermethylation Frequency of 54% [98]
WT1-antisense transcript hypomethylation Results in biallelic expression [99]
