The retinoblastoma susceptibility (RB1) gene contains an unmethylated CpG-rich island at its 5' end. Using methylation-sensitive restriction enzymes, we have investigated the methylation status of this island in 21 sporadic unilateral retinoblastomas and 30 hereditary retinoblastomas. Three sporadic
Mutation analysis of retinoblastoma is considered important for genetic counseling purposes, as well as for understanding the molecular mechanisms leading to tumors with different degrees of penetrance or expressivity. In the course of an analysis of 43 hereditary retinoblastoma Spanish patients and
The RB1 gene mutation detection rate in 1,020 retinoblastoma families was increased by the use of highly sensitive allele specific-PCR (AS-PCR) to detect low-level mosaicism for 11 recurrent RB1 CGA>TGA nonsense mutations. For bilaterally affected probands, AS-PCR increased the RB1 mutation detectio
## 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
To elucidate RB1 germline mutations in Korean retinoblastoma patients, DNA samples from 14 children with bilateral (including three familial cases) and 19 children with u nilateral retinoblastoma were analyzed. We found germline mutations in three out of 14 bilateral cases and one out of 19 unilater
