Abstract excerpt
Gene diagnosis is essential for confident presymptomatic prediction, genetic counseling, and early management of hereditary retinoblastoma. In screening the leukocyte DNA of three patients with bilateral retinoblastoma for RB1-gene heterozygous germline mutations, we identified mutations involving exon 3 or 18 of the RB1 gene by using heteroduplex analysis and sequencing. In one case the mutation was a 2 bp GT...
