Abstract excerpt
The Rb gene was isolated almost 20 years ago, but fundamental questions regarding its role in retinal development and retinoblastoma remain. What is the normal function of RB protein in retinogenesis? What is the cell-of-origin of retinoblastoma? Why do retinoblastoma tumors have recurrent genetic lesions other than Rb inactivation? Why is retinoblastoma not induced by defects in cell cycle regulators other than...
