Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and characterization of a zinc finger polypeptide gene at the human chromosome 11 Wilms' tumor locus.
Katherine M. Call,Thomas M Glaser,Caryn Y. Ito,Alan Buckler,Jerry Pelletier,Daniel A. Haber,Elise A. Rose,Astrid Kral,Astrid Kral,Herman Yeger,William H. Lewis,Carol Jones,David E. Housman +12 more
TL;DR: The genetic localization of this gene, its tissue-specific expression, and the function predicted from its sequence lead us to suggest that it represents the 11p13 Wilms' tumor gene.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-resolution mapping of human chromosome 11 by in situ hybridization with cosmid clones.
Peter Lichter,Chieh-Ju Chang Tang,Katherine M. Call,Gary G. Hermanson,Glen A. Evans,David E. Housman,David C. Ward +6 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate the feasibility of rapidly producing high-resolution maps of human chromosomes by in situ hybridization and show that by hybridizing three or more cosmids simultaneously, gene order on the chromosome could be established unequivocally.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alternative splicing and genomic structure of the Wilms tumor gene WT1.
Daniel A. Haber,Robert L. Sohn,Alan Buckler,Jerry Pelletier,Katherine M. Call,David E. Housman +5 more
TL;DR: The conservation in structure and relative levels of each of the four WT1 mRNA species suggests that each encoded polypeptide makes a significant contribution to normal gene function.
Journal ArticleDOI
An internal deletion within an 11p13 zinc finger gene contributes to the development of Wilms' tumor.
Daniel A. Haber,Daniel A. Haber,Alan Buckler,Thomas M Glaser,Katherine M. Call,Jerry Pelletier,Robert L. Sohn,Edwin C. Douglass,David E. Housman +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that inactivation of this gene, which is primarily expressed in fetal kidney, is part of a series of events leading to the development of Wilms' tumor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complete physical map of the WAGR region of 11p13 localizes a candidate Wilms' tumor gene
Elise A. Rose,Thomas M Glaser,Carol Jones,Cassandra L. Smith,William H. Lewis,Katherine M. Call,Mark D. Minden,Eric Champagne,Laura Bonetta,Herman Yeger,David E. Housman +10 more
TL;DR: The physical map has provided a framework to identify the sites of genes responsible for the complex of disorders associated with hemizygous 11p13 deletion: Wilms' tumor, aniridia, genitourinary abnormalities, and mental retardation.
