Frasier syndrom is an autosomal dominant, hereditary disease characterized by nephropathy, gonadal dysgenesis and risk of gonadal blastoma in early childhood. To date, in many patients with Frasier syndrome WT1 mutations have been found, occurring exclusively as germ-line mutations of the alternative splicing donor site in intron 9. A Wilms tumor is seen only rarely in this clinical entity. In the present paper we describe the clinical course of a patient with Frasier syndrome confirmed by molecular genetic analysis.
