  • Title: Linkage of genes for human esterase D and hereditary retinoblastoma.
    Author: Mukai S, Rapaport JM, Shields JA, Augsburger JJ, Dryja TP.
    Journal: Am J Ophthalmol; 1984 Jun; 97(6):681-5. PubMed ID: 6731533.
    Abstract:
    Determinations of esterase D isoenzymes in the members of a family with hereditary retinoblastoma gave results consistent with linkage between the loci for esterase D and retinoblastoma. This gene linkage allows the detection of gene carrier states in certain kindreds. We used this technique to predict that a 6-month-old boy carries the tumor-predisposing retinoblastoma gene.
