SummaryThis gene encodes a transcription factor that functions in kidney and gonad proliferation and differentiation. This factor contains four zinc-finger domains in the C-terminus and a proline/glutamine rich N-terminus. Four distinct alternate transcript variants have been identified. The prevalence and structure of each variant suggest that each produces a functional gene product. Mutations in this gene can be associated with the development of Wilms tumors in the kidney or with abnormalities of the genitourinary tract.
