Chromatin Analysis of Wilms Tumor Highlights Stem Cell Properties and a Renal Developmental Network

ABSTRACT: Wilms tumors are pediatric cancers thought to arise from kidney-specific stem cells. In order to identify transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms that drive these malignant cells, we compared genomewide chromatin profiles of Wilms tumors to embryonic stem (ES) cells and normal kidney. Data represent examination of genome-wide chromatin modifications in primary Wilms tumors, fetal and mature kidney.
