Disease relevance of WT2

 

Psychiatry related information on WT2

 

High impact information on WT2

  • These results provide in vivo functional evidence for the existence of a second genetic locus (WT2) involved in suppressing the tumorigenic phenotype of Wilms tumor [7].
  • These data suggest that KIP2 is a BWS gene but that it is not uniquely equivalent to the 11p15.5 "WT2" tumor-suppressor locus [8].
  • WT2 is defined by maternal-specific loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome 11p15.5 in Wilms' tumors (WTs) [9].
  • Three separate genes (WT1, WT2, and WT3) have been implicated in Wilms' tumour development [10].
  • 5. Here, we have used loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in Wilms' tumors to narrow the WT2 locus distal to the D11S988 locus [11].
 

Biological context of WT2

 

Associations of WT2 with chemical compounds

  • O2 deficit decreased between WT1 and WT2 in H only (P < 0.01) [15].
  • Arterialized blood pH and concentrations of bicarbonate ([HCO3-]), venous plasma lactate ([La-]), norepinephrine ([NE]), and epinephrine ([Epi]) were measured before and after WT1 and WT2 [15].
  • The Km for dehydroepiandrosterone and Ki for epostane measured with both the H156Y mutant and WT 2 are 13-fold to 17-fold greater than those values obtained with the WT 1 3beta-HSD [16].
