Evidence that recessive cellular alleles at specific chromosomal loci are involved in tumorigenesis has been recently shown by work on tissues from patients with retinoblastoma, a neoplasm of embryonic retina whose predisposition is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. A comparison of germ-line and tumour genotypes at loci on human chromosome 13, defined by restriction fragment length polymorphisms, showed...
