Bilateral cystic nephroblastomas and multiple malformations with trisomy 8 mosaicism. 1985

Y Nakamura, and H Nakashima, and S Fukuda, and T Hashimoto, and M Maruyama

The case of a 16-month-old female infant with bilateral cystic nephroblastomas, Dandy-Walker syndrome, microcephaly, bilateral cataracts, and cerebellar heterotopia is reported. The patient's older sister, who had had bilateral cystic nephroblastomas, botryoid sarcoma involving the vagina and urinary bladder, microcephaly, arhinencephaly, and bilateral cataracts, was described in a previous report. Chromosomal study in the present case confirmed trisomy 8 mosaicism (rate of mosaicism, 16 per cent). The familial occurrence and the chromosomal disorder suggest a syndrome involving genetic abnormalities.

D009030 Mosaicism The occurrence in an individual of two or more cell populations of different chromosomal constitutions, derived from a single ZYGOTE, as opposed to CHIMERISM in which the different cell populations are derived from more than one zygote.
D009396 Wilms Tumor A malignant kidney tumor, caused by the uncontrolled multiplication of renal stem (blastemal), stromal (STROMAL CELLS), and epithelial (EPITHELIAL CELLS) elements. However, not all three are present in every case.
