Abstract excerpt
The tumor-suppressor activity of the retinoblastoma protein (RB) is encoded within a protein-binding ("pocket") domain that is targeted for mutations in all cases of familial retinoblastoma and in many common adult cancers. Although familial retinoblastoma is a paradigm for a highly penetrant, recessive model of tumorigenesis, the molecular basis for the phenotype of incomplete penetrance of familial...
