Objective This study aims to explore the association between different genotypes of WT1 gene variations and the phenotypes of Denys-Drash syndrome(DDS)and Frasier syndrome(FS).Methods Through searching and summarizing the case information of WT1 gene variations recorded in NCBI PubMed and CNKI databases from January 1,1991 to October 31,2023,we analyzed the association between variation types,occurrence locations,and phenotypes such as progressive renal function impairment,genitourinary developmental abnormalities,nephroblastoma,and gonadal tumors between DDS and FS.Results A total of 128 articles,including 304 subjects,were included in this study,and 86 pathogenic variations of the WT1 gene were detected.The distribution characteristics of these variations were as follows:the most common occurrence was in exon 9(24/86,27.9%)and exon 8(23/86,26.7%);the most common variation type was missense mutation(51/86,59.3%),followed by splice site mutation(13/86,15.1%).The disease types caused by WT1 gene variations were as follows:DDS had the highest number of cases(174/304,57.2%),followed by FS(83/304,27.3%);DDS was mainly caused by missense mutations on exon 9 and exon 8(143/174,82.2%),while FS was mainly caused by splice site mutations on intron 9(76/83,91.6%).Conclusions The missense variants in exon 9 and exon 8 on the WT1 gene mainly resulted in DDS,while the splice variants in intron 9 mainly resulted in FS.Infants and children with progressive renal injury should undergo a comprehensive evaluation of the genitourinary system,and early genetic diagnosis should be established to improve prognosis.
