Sensitive multistep clinical molecular screening of 180 unrelated individuals with retinoblastoma detects 36 novel mutations in theRB1 gene
1 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
Retinoblastoma (RB) is a neoplasm of retinal origin caused by mutations in RB1, the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor gene. To facilitate genetics counseling and patient management, we adopted a multistep molecular screening assay for detecting RB1 mutations. This assay included DNA sequencing to identify mutations within coding exons and immediate flanking intronic regions, Southern blot analysis to characterize...
