Wilms' tumour (WT), a paediatric renal neoplasm, affects approximately 1 in 10,000 children. One or both kidneys can be affected and 5–10% of tumours are bilateral1. Most tumours occur sporadically; however, around 1% of the cases are familial, with siblings or cousins most often being affected2. Familial cases are more frequently bilateral3, and familial and bilateral tumours are diagnosed at an earlier age1. On the basis of these observations, it was proposed that the development of WT requires two mutations4. In most sporadic unilateral WT, both are somatic; in familial and bilateral tumours the first is thought to be germinal. Cytogenetic and molecular studies have demonstrated germinal mutations in WT/aniridia patients and somatic mutations in sporadic WT at chromosomal band 11p13. To investigate whether familial predisposition to WT is due to a germinal 11p13 mutation, we studied a WT family with seven DNA markers that span the 11p13region. We found that familial WT predisposition was not genetically linked to any of the 11p13 markers. This suggests that the gene involved in familial WT predisposition is outside 11p13 and is distinct from the gene involved in tumorigensis and in WT predisposition in WT/aniridia 11p13-deletion patients.
