Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Retinoblastoma (RB) is an intraocular childhood cancer develops due to inactivation of RB1 gene. Identification of RB1 genetic variants, correlating and confirming genetic test results with clinical outcomes are crucial for effective RB management. METHODS: Retrospective study of 62 RB patients and 14 family members who underwent genetic testing either by next generation sequencing (NGS) or multiplex...
