Oxygen-dependent gene expression in development and cancer: lessons learned from the Wilms’ tumor gene, WT1

Adequate tissue oxygenation is a prerequisite for normal development of the embryo. Most fetal organs are exquisitely susceptible to hypoxia which occurs when the delivery of oxygen is exceeded by the actual demand. Developmental abnormalities due to insufficient supply with oxygen can result from...
