The recent description of a new X chromosome tumor suppressor gene, WTX, that is commonly inactivated in Wilms’ tumor prompted us to examine the possible involvement of WTX in a case of Wilms’ tumor containing an apparently balanced reciprocal translocation between chromosomes X and 18 (t(X;18)(q11;p11)). Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis of paraffin tumor sections indeed revealed a deletion of the WTX locus at Xq11. High-resolution array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) analysis of tumor DNA revealed a 1.5 Mb chromosome deletion encompassing the WTX gene at Xq11.
