Retinoblastoma is a childhood cancer of the retina caused by biallelic inactivation of the tumor suppressor gene RB1. In heritable retinoblastoma, one allele is inherited in mutant form via one of the parental germ cells. To study molecular mechanisms in retinoblastoma, two sublines of H1 hESCs were generated, carrying a knock-out allele of RB1 in the heterozygous or homozygous state. Exon 3 of RB1 was targeted...
