XXIV. SCF LAYMAN’S SUMMARY
Denys–Drash syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the WT1 gene, a critical regulator of kidney development, reproductive development, and tumor suppression. Children with DDS usually develop severe nephrotic syndrome during infancy, progressive kidney failure, abnormalities of sexual development, and a significantly increased risk of Wilms tumor. SCF interprets DDS as a systems-level developmental communication disorder involving WT1 dysfunction, renal developmental failure, gonadal dysgenesis, mitochondrial stress, and collapse of synchronized developmental regulatory systems.
