  • Title: Preliminary report of molecular detection of retinoblastoma gene mutations.
    Author: Zeng R, Jiang X, Zhang Q, Hu B, Chen Y.
    Journal: Yan Ke Xue Bao; 1994 Mar; 10(1):1-5. PubMed ID: 7843377.
    Abstract:
    To develop gene diagnosis for retinoblastoma predisposition, it is necessary to disclose the retinoblastoma gene mutations or deletions in detail. Genomic DNA from tumor and peripheral white blood cells in 33 patients with retinoblastoma was detected with 3.8kb probe derived from 3' end of retinoblastoma gene cDNA. The gene abnormalities, including deletion, partial deletion and rearrangement, were found in 18 patients. Further research will be aimed at microdeletions or mutations for those patients without detectable variations in Southern hybridization.
