Presentation
The glomerulonephropathy presents later than in Denys-Drash syndrome, and the tumour risk phenotype is different - whilst DDS is associated with Wilms' tumour, Frasier syndrome is associated with gonadoblastoma. Most present at puberty. [nephronpower.com]
PMID: 17101338 The same mutation affecting the splicing of WT1 gene is present on Frasier syndrome patients with or without Wilms’ tumor. [humpath.com]
Since the great majority of FS patients have normal female external genitalia, sex reversal is not suspected before they present delayed puberty and/or primary amenorrhea. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It develops during childhood presenting as persistent proteinuria and subsequently steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) and progresses to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the second or third decade of life. [orpha.net]
Entire Body System
- Swelling
Therefore, tests for Wilms’ tumor aren’t typically done unless a child has symptoms, such as swelling in the abdomen. [healthline.com]
This condition is characterized by an inability of the kidneys to filter waste products from the blood, which leads to protein in the urine, swelling (edema) of the abdomen, and ultimately, kidney failure. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]
Signs of Wilms tumor can include abdominal swelling, blood in the urine, decreased urination, low-grade fever, loss of appetite, paleness, weight loss and lethargy. [rarediseases.org]

Musculoskeletal
- Short Arm
The WT1 gene, located on the short arm of chromosome 11 (11p13), encoding a protein necessary for the development of kidney and gonads. Within these tissues, the WT1 protein plays a role in cell growth, cell differentiation and apoptosis. [ivami.com]
Discussion The WT1 gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 11, band p13 (3), which consist of 10 exons, and encodes a transcriptional factor that is a zinc-finger protein. [ar.iiarjournals.org]
Each chromosome has a short arm designated “p” and a long arm designated “q”. Chromosomes are further sub-divided into many bands that are numbered. For example, “chromosome 4q21” refers to band 21 on the long arm of chromosome 4. [rarediseases.org]
Table 1 Clinical features of Denys-Drash and Frasier syndromes Genetic aspects: the WT1 gene WT1 was originally isolated from the short arm of chromosome 11, as the result of a positional cloning effort aimed at identifying a gene for Wilms’ tumour. 14 [adc.bmj.com]

Serum cholesterol level was very high, there was no hematuria, and renal function was normal. [scielo.br]
- Absent Kidney
The crucial role of WT1 function in urogenital development is emphasised by the WT1 knockout mouse, where homozygous inactivation of WT1 causes absent kidneys and malformation of the gonads. 19 To date, WT1 remains the principal gene to be associated [adc.bmj.com]
