Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that may occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at DNA variations in the RASSF1A gene in young patients with Wilms' tumor.

Arms and outcomes
Arms (0)
[]Primary outcomes (2)
- measure
- Presence of the A133S polymorphism of the RASSF1A tumor suppressor gene in germline DNAs of children with Wilms' tumor
- measure
- Inheritance pattern of the A133S polymorphism in the parents of children who carry this polymorphism
Secondary outcomes (3)
- measure
- Differences in age at diagnosis, stage, histology, site of primary tumor, and outcome between patients with vs without the A133S polymorphism
- measure
- Whether the S131F RASSF1A variant is a true polymorphism
- measure
- Polymorphic differences in this gene based on ethnicity and sex
