Project management at the University of Würzburg:
Abstract:
WT1 is an essential regulator of genitourinary development and it serves as a tumor suppressor in the kidney. We could show that specific WT1 mutations are associated with different heritable developmental defects. Furthermore, we have characterized the function of WT1 as a transcription factor.
