High incidence of allelic loss at 16q12.2 region spanning RBL2/p130 gene in retinoblastoma.

Abstract excerpt

Retinoblastoma (Rb) is the most common intra-ocular tumor that manifests in early childhood. It is initiated by the inactivation of RB1/p105 gene, a prototype tumor suppressor gene. However, observed recurrent chromosomal aberrations accompanying RB1/p105 mutations suggest the involvement of additional mutational events. Chromosome 16q is one of the loci with recurrent losses which are likely to contain tumor...
