Abstract excerpt
Retinoblastoma (RB) tumours form in the eyes of young children when homozygosity for a mutation at the Rb-1 locus develops in a somatic retinal cell. A similar shift to homozygosity for the RB mutation has been observed in osteogenic sarcoma (OS) tumours that commonly arise as second tumours in c...
