This study reports on the evaluation of the Wilms tumor suppressor gene WT1 in 14 endometrial carcinomas. Despite the fact that several endometrial carcinomas were shown to express WT1 , we were unable to demonstrate mutations in the MT1 zinc finger region, suggesting that WT1 does not play a prominent role in the etiology of this malignancy.
