Catalase determination in various etiologic forms of Wilms' tumor and gonadoblastoma
Abstract
We have previously mapped the gene coding for catalase to 11p13 by gene dosage analysis. Deletion of this chromosomal region causes aniridia, mental retardation, and predisposition to Wilms' tumor (WT). In the present study, 22 patients with various etiologic forms of WT and/or aniridia were investigated. The catalase (CAT) level and karyotype were examined in order to determine the linkage and the gene ordering on chromosome number 11 of the different loci involved. The CAT concentration was normal in the 19 cases without detectable chromosomal abnormalities.
