Bacteria in neoplastic diseases: A brief note on Wilms tumor

Figure 1 Schematic diagram of chromosome 11 and its short (p) arm-linked certain diseases. Aniridia: A pan-ocular disorder with partial or complete deficiency of the iris; Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome: A congenital overgrowth disorder; Beta-hemoglobinopathies (defects in β-globin chains): Beta-thalassemia and Sickle cell disease; Congenital hyperinsulinism: Characterized by excess insulin secretion and profound hypoglycemia; Denys-Drash syndrome: A disorder with congenital nephropathy/diffuse glomerulosclerosis, Wilms tumor, gonadal dysgenesis and cryptorchidism (among male patients); Frasier syndrome: Associated with nephropathy/focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, and gonadal abnormalities that commonly become cancerous/gonadoblastoma (among male patients); Silver-Russell syndrome: Clinical features include growth restriction, body asymmetry, and relative macrocephaly (etiologies are not related to chromosome 11 in about 50% of cases); WAGR: Wilms tumor-aniridia-genitourinary abnormalities-mental retardation.
