<h4>Purpose</h4>Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and its receptor Met are known to play diverse roles in both organogenesis and cancer. Wilms' tumor (WT) is a prototype for the link between abrogated development and neoplasia, with dysregulation of growth factor/receptor pathways playing key roles. Despite this, an understanding of the HGF/Met axis in the process is lacking.<h4>Experimental design</h4>Observing copy number alterations at the loci for these genes in WTs and their precursor lesions ...[more]
