Wilms' tumor is a neoplasm of the kidneys that usually occurs in children and is characterized by the presence of abortive tubules and glomeruli surrounded by a spindled cell stroma. The 11p13 Wilms' tumor locus consists of two coordinately regulated transcripts, WT1 and WIT-1, which are mutated in Wilms' tumors. Wilms' tumor upstream neighbor 1 (WIT-1) is encoded by an intron-less gene upstream of the Wilms' tumor 1 (WT1) gene, which is is important for nephrogenesis and gonadal growth. The WT1 gene is bi-directionally transcribed from the same promoter region as WIT-1, which may function as an antisense regulator of WT1. WIT-1 and WT1 have the same temporal and cell-restricted expression pattern, although the expression of WIT-1 is less abundant. Methylation of the WIT-1 gene is implicated in hematologic malignancy of chemoresistant acute myeloid leukemia. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the WIT-1 gene are significantly associated with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.
