| Recommended combinations | renal ultrasound every 3-4 months from diagnosis through age 7-8, urinalysis + blood pressure at each visit (Denys-Drash glomerular surveillance), multi-disciplinary clinic: pediatric oncology + nephrology + endocrinology + genetics, prophylactic gonadectomy in Frasier syndrome (46,XY) — gonadoblastoma prevention, renal function monitoring + proteinuria (Denys-Drash diffuse mesangial sclerosis often presents in infancy), COG / SIOP-RTSG Wilms protocols for any detected nephroblastoma |
| Evidence summary | WT1 germline pathogenic variants drive a spectrum of pediatric kidney predispositions: WAGR syndrome (11p13 contiguous-gene deletion — Wilms tumor, aniridia, genitourinary anomalies, range of intellectual disability; Wilms risk ~30-50%), Denys-Drash syndrome (missense in zinc- finger domain — pseudohermaphroditism + diffuse mesangial sclerosis + Wilms tumor; risk ~50-90%), and Frasier syndrome (intron-9 splice variants — 46,XY gonadal dysgenesis + focal segmental glomerulosclerosis; gonadoblastoma risk). Confirmed-carrier surveillance protocol (per International Society of Paediatric Oncology / SIOP-RTSG + COG Renal Tumor Committee Consensus / Kalish et al. 2017): renal ultrasound every 3 months from diagnosis through age 7-8 (Wilms incidence peaks before age 5 and falls steeply after age 7), urinalysis at each visit, blood pressure monitoring. Multi-disciplinary involvement: pediatric oncology + nephrology (renal function + proteinuria) + endocrinology (gonadal dysgenesis management) + genetics. Prophylactic gonadectomy is recommended in Frasier syndrome to prevent gonadoblastoma.... |
Notes
STUB — Wave A+B germline expansion. Linked Indication: none (no WT1- specific Indication exists yet). Two-Clinical-Co-Lead signoff queued. Surveillance is age-bounded: cadence drops markedly after age 7-8 when Wilms incidence falls. Variant location largely predicts syndrome subtype: contiguous-gene deletions → WAGR; zinc-finger missense → Denys- Drash; intron-9 splice variants → Frasier. Other 11p13 contiguous-gene deletion phenotypes (e.g. simultaneous involvement of PAX6) explain aniridia and warrant ophthalmology follow-up.
