Association between loss of heterozygosity of chromosome 16q and survival in Wilms' tumor: A meta-analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: This meta-analysis indicated that LOH of 16q was significantly associated with worse survival in WT. Further studies need to identify this conclusion because the overall quality of the included studies is not high, investigate the impact of LOH of 16q on the survival of WT patients in different subgroups and identify better treatments for WT patients with LOH of 16q in order to lengthen their survival.
