Penetrance and segregation rates of mutant Rb-1 alleles were assessed in all 51 members of eight kindreds with hereditary retinoblastoma by concomitant ophthalmologic examination and determination of seven intragenic restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs). Penetrance was in the range repo
Individuals with the 18q-syndrome have variable deletions from the long arm of chromosome 18. They also exhibit a highly variable phenotype. To correlate genotype with phenotype accurately, extensive molecular and phenotypic analyses are needed on each affected individual. As a part of this analysis
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
