For example , the baseline scheme would be a building that meets the minimum provisions of the applicable building code . Comparisons made five or ten years after graduation , using this baseline information may reveal significant life patterns . His baseline information will be of great use for future studies , such as one being undertaken by a Lolo community group on the quality of the fishery in the watershed . Otherwise , the presence of a new or enlarging abdominal mass , hematuria , abdominal pain , or hypertension may indicate the development of malignancy.A palpable mass that is located in either flank and immobile on respiration is suggestive of a Wilms tumor.Occasionally , patients may have a varicocele , which is due to obstruction of the spermatic vein by a thrombus in the inferior vena cava.AniridiaThe congenital absence of the iris is usually the first and most striking feature.Although generally absent in the newborn period , scanning nystagmus may be present in infancy.The degree of vision loss varies among patients.GU abnormalitiesA range of GU abnormalities may be present at birth.Cryptorchidism and hypospadias are commonly observed in association with AGR and WAGR syndromes.The presence of pseudohermaphroditism should alert the clinician to the possibility of Denys-Drash or Frasier syndromes , both of which result from mutations in the WT1 gene.Nephroblastomatosis , or the enlargement of one or both kidneys related to the presence of nephrogenic rests , may be detected by means of prenatal ultrasonography or careful palpation of the abdomen during the neonatal period.Mental retardationThe presence and degree of mental retardation vary greatly among patients with WAGR syndrome.Generally , determining the degree of retardation is impossible in the newborn period , although parents should be alerted to the possibility.As the patient ages , the reliability of neuropsychometric testing improves , and baseline testing should be performed.The presence of vision loss may complicate the testing process because children with vision difficulties may acquire developmental milestones differently from children with normal vision . The analysis of cost variations from the baseline period will identify changes in the pattern of expenditures for experimental and comparison counties .
