Abstract
Abstract The study of inherited disease provides unique insight into basic developmental and biochemical processes. By linking the pathogenesis of complex malformations to mutations of specific genes, the function of those genes in normal developmental biology can be inferred. One such disorder is the Denys-Drash syndrome, where identification of genetic lesions within the WT1 tumour suppressor gene has provided astonishing insight into events regulating development of the urogenital system.
