Denys-Drash syndrome

The Denys-Drash syndrome is an autosomal recessive congenital disorder characterized by the triad of progressive renal disease, male pseudohermaphroditism, and Wilms tumor. The disorder is caused by heterozygous germline missense mutations in the zinc-finger motife (mainly exon 8 or 9) of the WT1 gene.
