Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the retinoblastoma (RB1) gene are not confined to retinoblastoma, but are also involved in the development of osteosarcoma. Structural aberrations within the RB1 gene have been studied in fresh samples of eleven cases of osteosarcoma. In five cases a rearrangement was detected, one of which was best explained as a partial duplication. The chromosomal mechanisms by which the nonmutated RB1 allele was...
