We have analyzed the 27 exons and the promoter region of the RBI gene in familial or sporadic bilateral retinoblastoma by using single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis. For improvement over previous studies, a new set of primers has been designed, which allow for amplification of the coding

In The Netherlands, retinoblastoma patients have been registered in the Utrecht national retinoblastoma registry since 1862. This register is virtually complete from 1945 onwards. We describe a unique epidemiological survey of the occurrence of non-ocular cancer in all patients registered during the
## Communicated by Arupa Ganguly We have analyzed RNA from retinoblastoma patients and unaffected carriers with various RB1 gene mutations to determine the patterns of missplicing and associations with phenotypic expression. Most sequence alterations in or in the neighborhood of conserved splice s
Retinoblastoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in children, caused by inactivation of the RB1 gene on chromosome 13. We carried out a mutational screen of the exons and promoter of the RB1 gene in Indian patients with retinoblastoma in order to determine the range of mutations givi
## Communicated by David N. Cooper Quantitative multiplex PCR and genomic real-time PCR were used to complete an RB1 mutation analysis in 57 of 433 and 72 of 262 patients with hereditary and isolated unilateral retinoblastoma, respectively. These patients were selected because in previous analyses
