Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Genomic gains and losses in high-risk Wilms tumor [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Transcription patterns involved in the pathogenesis of Wilms tumor [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Genetic mutations involved in the pathogenesis of Wilms tumor [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 100
Study Start Date: March 2010
Estimated Primary Completion Date: April 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

  • To assess genomic gains and losses in samples from high-risk Wilms tumor patients, including 50 favorable histology Wilms tumors that relapse (RFHWT) and 50 anaplastic Wilms tumors (UHWT) using a high-density genetic platform to survey for recurrent copy number variations and allelic imbalances.
  • To define transcription patterns within these samples using a high-throughput platform for global gene expression.
  • To define DNA methylation patterns within these samples using a high-throughput platform.
  • To identify genetic mutations involved in the pathogenesis of Wilms tumor and in the development of relapse and anaplasia through the study of these samples using next-generation sequencing tools.
  • To facilitate the integration of the above databases and allow meaningful access by investigators through the infrastructure provided by TARGET, including its data portal and associated caBIG tool.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Archived tumor tissue samples are analyzed for DNA copy number determination, gene expression, DNA methylation, and genomic re-sequencing by array-based methods, including PCR analysis, methylation-specific reverse transcriptase-PCR (RT-PCR), and quantitative RT-PCR.
