This gene encodes a transcription factor that contains four zinc-finger motifs at the C-terminus and a proline/glutamine-rich DNA-binding domain at the N-terminus. It has an essential role in the normal development of the urogenital system, and it is mutated in a small subset of patients with Wilms tumor. This gene exhibits complex tissue-specific and polymorphic imprinting pat... See more...

Summaries for WT1 Gene

Entrez Gene Summary for WT1 Gene

  • This gene encodes a transcription factor that contains four zinc-finger motifs at the C-terminus and a proline/glutamine-rich DNA-binding domain at the N-terminus. It has an essential role in the normal development of the urogenital system, and it is mutated in a small subset of patients with Wilms tumor. This gene exhibits complex tissue-specific and polymorphic imprinting pattern, with biallelic, and monoallelic expression from the maternal and paternal alleles in different tissues. Multiple transcript variants have been described. In several variants, there is evidence for the use of a non-AUG (CUG) translation initiation codon upstream of, and in-frame with the first AUG. Authors of PMID:7926762 also provide evidence that WT1 mRNA undergoes RNA editing in human and rat, and that this process is tissue-restricted and developmentally regulated.

CIViC Summary for WT1 Gene

  • WT1 is a tumor suppressor gene associated with the development of Wilms' Tumor, from which it was named. Mutations in exon 7 and 9 of WT1 have been recurrently identified in acute myeloid leukemia and associated with poorer prognosis and chemotherapy resistance.

GeneCards Summary for WT1 Gene

WT1 (WT1 Transcription Factor) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with WT1 include Wilms Tumor 1 and Denys-Drash Syndrome. Among its related pathways are Embryonic and Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Differentiation Pathways and Lineage-specific Markers and Primary Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis FSGS. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include nucleic acid binding and sequence-specific DNA binding. An important paralog of this gene is EGR2.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Summary for WT1 Gene

  • Transcription factor that plays an important role in cellular development and cell survival (PubMed:7862533). Recognizes and binds to the DNA sequence 5'-GCG(T/G)GGGCG-3' (PubMed:7862533, PubMed:17716689, PubMed:25258363). Regulates the expression of numerous target genes, including EPO. Plays an essential role for development of the urogenital system. It has a tumor suppressor as well as an oncogenic role in tumor formation. Function may be isoform-specific: isoforms lacking the KTS motif may act as transcription factors (PubMed:15520190). Isoforms containing the KTS motif may bind mRNA and play a role in mRNA metabolism or splicing (PubMed:16934801). Isoform 1 has lower affinity for DNA, and can bind RNA (PubMed:19123921).

WT1_HUMAN
  • Frasier syndrome (FS) [MIM:136680]: Characterized by a slowly progressing nephropathy leading to renal failure in adolescence or early adulthood, male pseudohermaphroditism, and no Wilms tumor. As for histological findings of the kidneys, focal glomerular sclerosis is often observed. There is phenotypic overlap with Denys-Drash syndrome. Inheritance is autosomal dominant. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:10571943}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
  • Wilms tumor 1 (WT1) [MIM:194070]: Embryonal malignancy of the kidney that affects approximately 1 in 10'000 infants and young children. It occurs both in sporadic and hereditary forms. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:1317572, ECO:0000269 PubMed:15150775, ECO:0000269 PubMed:9108089, ECO:0000269 PubMed:9529364}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
  • Denys-Drash syndrome (DDS) [MIM:194080]: Typical nephropathy characterized by diffuse mesangial sclerosis, genital abnormalities, and/or Wilms tumor. There is phenotypic overlap with WAGR syndrome and Frasier syndrome. Inheritance is autosomal dominant, but most cases are sporadic. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:10738002, ECO:0000269 PubMed:10799199, ECO:0000269 PubMed:11182928, ECO:0000269 PubMed:11519891, ECO:0000269 PubMed:1302008, ECO:0000269 PubMed:1338906, ECO:0000269 PubMed:15349765, ECO:0000269 PubMed:1655284, ECO:0000269 PubMed:8111391, ECO:0000269 PubMed:8112732, ECO:0000269 PubMed:8295405, ECO:0000269 PubMed:8388765, ECO:0000269 PubMed:8411073, ECO:0000269 PubMed:8741319, ECO:0000269 PubMed:8956030, ECO:0000269 PubMed:9475094, ECO:0000269 PubMed:9529364}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
  • Nephrotic syndrome 4 (NPHS4) [MIM:256370]: A form of nephrotic syndrome, a renal disease clinically characterized by severe proteinuria, resulting in complications such as hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia and edema. Kidney biopsies show non-specific histologic changes such as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and diffuse mesangial proliferation. Some affected individuals have an inherited steroid-resistant form and progress to end-stage renal failure. Most patients with NPHS4 show diffuse mesangial sclerosis on renal biopsy, which is a pathologic entity characterized by mesangial matrix expansion with no mesangial hypercellularity, hypertrophy of the podocytes, vacuolized podocytes, thickened basement membranes, and diminished patency of the capillary lumen. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:11182928, ECO:0000269 PubMed:15253707, ECO:0000269 PubMed:20798252, ECO:0000269 PubMed:9529364, ECO:0000269 PubMed:9607189}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
  • Meacham syndrome (MEACHS) [MIM:608978]: Rare sporadically occurring multiple malformation syndrome characterized by male pseudohermaphroditism with abnormal internal female genitalia comprising a uterus and double or septate vagina, complex congenital heart defect and diaphragmatic abnormalities. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:17853480}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
  • Note=A chromosomal aberration involving WT1 may be a cause of desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT). Translocation t(11;22)(p13;q12) with EWSR1.
  • Mesothelioma, malignant (MESOM) [MIM:156240]: An aggressive neoplasm of the serosal lining of the chest. It appears as broad sheets of cells, with some regions containing spindle-shaped, sarcoma-like cells and other regions showing adenomatous patterns. Pleural mesotheliomas have been linked to exposure to asbestos. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:8401592}. Note=The disease may be caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
