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

The interfamilial diversity in penetrance and expressivity of hereditary retinoblastoma was investigated in 29 families. By using a simple parameter for estimating the severity of the disease (diseased-eye-ratio), we were able to identify four families with a discrete low-penetrance phenotype. The u
Mutations in both alleles of the RB1 gene are causal for the development of retinoblastoma, a childhood tumor of the eye. The spectrum of somatic and germline mutations in this gene is dominated by small mutations. Data on small mutations are listed in a locus specific database available at http://w
