Excess of multifocal tumors in nephroblastoma: implications for mechanisms of tumor development and genetic counseling.

abstract：:The gene for superoxide dismutase-1 (SOD-1) is clearly on chromosome 21, although there is disagreement on the precise band location of SOD-1 on the long (q) arm of number 21. We report a patient with normal superoxide dismutase-1 (SOD-1) activity and an interstitial deletion of chromosome 21 resulting in monosomy for...
