One tumor of this organ occurs often in patients with Denys-Drash syndrome and is caused by deletionof the WT1 gene on chromosome 11p.
One tumor of this organ occurs often in patients with Denys-Drash syndrome and is caused by deletionof the WT1 gene on chromosome 11p. Clear cell carcinoma of this organ is common in von Hippel-Lindausyndrome. Mutations in cilia-localizing proteins causes a disease in which this organ is filled with cysts. Onesection of this organ requires podocin in order to form (*) slit pores, which lie opposite a basement membranefrom an array of podocytes. One section of this organ inserts aquaporins into its membrane in response to ADH. Onesection of this organ contains the NKCC1 cotransporter in its thick limb and uses a countercurrent multiplier systemto concentrate the filtrate. For 10 points, name this organ whose functional unit contains a group of capillaries calledthe glomerulus, the Bowman's capsule, and the loop of Henle as part of the nephron.
