Variability in retinoblastoma genome stability is driven by age and not heritability

Abstract excerpt

). RB can be hereditary (germline RB1 pathogenic allele is present) or non-hereditary. Somatic copy number alterations (SCNAs) contribute to subsequent tumorigenesis. Previous studies of only enucleated RB eyes have reported associations between heritability status and the prevalence of SCNAs. Herein, we use an aqueous humor (AH) liquid biopsy to investigate RB genomic profiles in the context of germline RB1...
