NCIt definition : Human WT1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 11p13 and is approximately
48 kb in length. This allele, which encodes Wilms' tumor protein, plays a role in
the modulation of both transcription and urogenital development. Mutations in the
gene are linked to Wilms' tumor.;
NCIt note : The WT1 gene is expressed as multiple distinct isoforms some of which arise from a
non-AUG (CUG) translation initiation site upstream of, and in-frame with the first
AUG. (Entrez Gene);
