Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In patients with retinoblastoma, gains of chromosome 6p have been associated with less differentiated tumors. In cell-free DNA from the aqueous humor (AH), 6p gain has been associated with an increased risk of enucleation. While the identification of somatic copy number alterations (SCNAs) via the AH has been well established, these alterations are not routinely identified in the blood due to low...
