Hypoplastic Glomerulocystic Kidney Disease and Hepatoblastoma A Potential Association not Caused by Mutations in Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 1 beta JOURNAL OF PEDIATRIC HEMATOLOGY ONCOLOGY Abdul-Rahman, O. A., Edghill, E. L., Kwan, A., Enns, G. M., Hattersley, A. T. 2009; 31 (7): 527-529

Abstract

Hypoplastic glomerulocystic kidney disease is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in hepatocyte nuclear factor-1beta. Hepatoblastoma is a sporadic occurring tumor of embryonal origin that has been associated with the several overgrowth syndromes. We report a case of concomitant hypoplastic glomerulocystic kidney disease and hepatoblastoma. Review of the literature identified 4 other patients with a similar association. We propose that hypoplastic glomerulocystic kidney disease and hepatoblastoma represent a possible association, and we excluded mutations in hepatocyte nuclear factor-1beta in our patient as causative of this putative association.
