==Overview==
The risk factors of wilms' tumor include family history, congenital anomalies, and associated syndromes.
Common risk factors in the development of wilms tumor include familial wilms tumor, [[congenital anomalies]], [[WT1|WT-1]] related syndromes and WT2-related [[Syndrome|syndromes]]. Less common risk factors in the development of wilms tumor include perlman syndrome, simpson-golabi-ehemel syndrome, [[Sotos syndrome]], 9q22.3 microdeletion syndrome, [[Bloom syndrome]], li-fraumeni syndrome and [[Alagille syndrome]].


==Risk factors==
== Risk factors ==
* Familial Wilms tumor <ref name="cancergov">National Cancer Institute. Physician Data Query Database 2015. http://www.cancer.gov/publications/pdq </ref>
* Congenital anomaly
** Hemihyperplasia
** Urinary tract anomalies, including [[cryptorchidism]] and [[hypospadias]]
** [[Aniridia]]


* Syndromic association of Wilms tumor
=== Common Risk Factors ===
: Note: Wilms tumor 1 (WT1) and Wilms tumor 2 (WT2) are genes related to wilms tumor.
* Common risk factors in the development of wilms tumor include:
:* WT1-related syndromes include the following:
** Familial Wilms tumor <ref name="cancergov">National Cancer Institute. Physician Data Query Database 2015. http://www.cancer.gov/publications/pdq </ref>
:** WAGR syndrome
** Congenital anomaly
:*** [[WAGR syndrome]] is characterized by Wilms tumor, [[aniridia]], genitourinary anomaly, and [[mental retardation]]. The constellation of WAGR syndrome occurs in association with an interstitial deletion on chromosome 11 (del(11p13)) (prevalence is about 0.4% of children with Wilms tumors). The incidence of bilateral Wilms tumor in children with WAGR syndrome is about 15%.
*** Hemihyperplasia
:** [[Denys-Drash syndrome]] and [[Frasier syndrome]]
*** Urinary tract anomalies, including [[cryptorchidism]] and [[hypospadias]]
:*** Genitourinary anomalies including [[hypospadias]], undescended testis, and others are associated with WT1 deletions (prevalence is about 8%–10% of children with Wilms tumor). Children with pseudo-hermaphroditism and/or renal disease ([[glomerulonephritis]] or [[nephrotic syndrome]]) who develop Wilms tumor may have Denys-Drash or Frasier syndrome (characterized by male hermaphroditism, primary [[amenorrhea]], chronic [[renal failure]], and other abnormalities), both of which are associated with mutations in the WT1 gene. Specifically, germline missense mutations in the WT1 gene are responsible for most Wilms tumors that occur as part of Denys-Drash syndrome. The risk of Wilms tumor is about 90% for children with Denys-Drash syndrome.
*** [[Aniridia]]
:** WT2-related syndromes include the following:
** WT1-related syndromes include the following:<ref name="cancergov2">National Cancer Institute. Physician Data Query Database 2015. http://www.cancer.gov/publications/pdq</ref>
:*** Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome
*** [[WAGR syndrome|WAGR]] syndrome
:**** [[Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome]] is an overgrowth syndrome characterized by asymmetric growth of one or more parts of the body, large tongue, [[omphalocele]] or [[umbilical hernia]] at birth, creases or pits in the skin near the ears, [[hypoglycemia]] (in infants), and kidney abnormalities. It is also characterized by the development of Wilms tumor, [[rhabdomyosarcoma]], and [[hepatoblastoma]].
*** [[Denys-Drash syndrome]] and [[Frasier syndrome]]
** WT2-related syndromes include the following:

:::* The molecular etiology is complex, involving alterations of the expression of multiple imprinted growth regulatory genes on chromosome 11p15.5. The most common cause is altered methylation at the imprinted 11p15 region (52%–57%), followed by paternal uniparental disomy (20%), unknown causes (13%–15%), and mutations in that region (10%).
=== Less Common Risk Factors ===
 
*Less common risk factors in the development of wilms tumor include:
:::* The prevalence is about 1% of children with Wilms tumor. Between 20% and 30% of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome patients will develop Wilms tumor. Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome patients with hemihyperplasia have a fourfold increased tumor risk over that of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome patients without hemihyperplasia.

:::* Perlman syndrome, a rare, autosomal, recessively inherited, congenital overgrowth syndrome, is characterized by fetal gigantism, renal [[dysplasia]] and nephroblastomatosis, [[islet cell]] [[hypertrophy]], multiple [[congenital anomalies]], and [[mental retardation]].

::* Simpson-Golabi-Behemel syndrome
:::* Simpson-Golabi-Behemel syndrome is characterized by [[macroglossia]], [[macrosomia]], renal and skeletal abnormalities, and increased risk of embryonal cancers. It is caused by mutations in GPC3 and is believed to enhance the risk of Wilms tumor. Regular age-dependent screening for tumors—including abdominal ultrasound, [[urinalysis]], and biochemical markers—is recommended; however, the true benefit has yet to be determined.
 
::* Sotos syndrome
:::* [[Sotos syndrome]] is characterized by cerebral [[gigantism]] and learning disability, ranging from mild to severe. Sotos syndrome is associated with behavioral problems, congenital cardiac anomalies, neonatal [[jaundice]], and renal anomalies such as Wilms tumor, [[scoliosis]], and [[seizures]]. NSD1 is the only gene in which mutations are known to cause Sotos syndrome.
 
::* 9q22.3 microdeletion syndrome.
:::* 9q22.3 microdeletion syndrome is characterized by craniofacial abnormalities, metopic craniosynostosis, [[hydrocephalus]], [[macrosomia]], and learning disabilities. Three patients presented with Wilms tumor in addition to a constitutional 9q22.3 microdeletion and dysmorphic/overgrowth syndrome. Although the size of the deletions was variable, all encompassed the PTCH1 gene.
 
::* Bloom syndrome
:::* [[Bloom syndrome]] is characterized by short stature and being thinner than other family members, sun-sensitive skin changes, and an increased risk of Wilms tumor. BLMis the only gene in which mutations are known to cause Bloom syndrome.
 
::* Li-Fraumeni syndrome
:::* [[Li-Fraumeni syndrome]] is a rare disorder that greatly increases the risk of developing several types of cancer, particularly in children and young adults. The cancers most often associated with Li-Fraumeni syndrome include breast cancer, [[osteosarcoma]], soft tissue sarcoma, [[brain tumor]], [[leukemia]], adrenocortical carcinoma, and Wilms tumor. The TP53 gene mutation is present in most families with Li-Fraumeni syndrome. The CHEK2 gene mutation is also known to cause Li-Fraumeni syndrome.
 
::* [[Alagille syndrome]]
