Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aniridia (lack of an iris in the eye) is an anomaly often associated with Wilms tumor. Approximately 10% of children who have Wilms tumor also have a loss of other important genes and therefore have a number of congenital anomalies, including hemihypertrophy (an asymmetry of the body), and genitourinary malformations (i.e., horseshoe kidneys, hypospadias, ureteral duplication, polycystic kidneys, uterine abnormalities). The other anomalies listed are not associated with a Wilms tumor.
