WT
What genetic abnormality is associated with higher relapse rates and mortality rates? (NWTS-5)

Patients with loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at 16q and 1p have higher relapse and mortality rates.
WT
The presence of these in children with very low-risk WT treated with just surgery alone, has been prospectively validated to be an important predictor of relapse.
