Retinoblastoma: From genes to patient care
Retinoblastoma is the most common paediatric neoplasm of the retina, and one of the earliest model of cancer genetics since the identification of the master tumour suppressor gene RB1. Tumorigenesis has been shown to be driven by pathogenic variants of the RB1 locus, but also genomic and epigenomic alterations outside the locus.

BTG interacts with retinoblastoma to control cell fate in Dictyostelium. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: In the genesis of many tissues, a phase of cell proliferation is followed by cell cycle exit and terminal differentiation. The latter two processes overlap: genes involved in the cessation of growth may also be important in triggering ...

Non-coding and Coding Transcriptional Profiles Are Significantly Altered in Pediatric Retinoblastoma Tumors [PDF]
Retinoblastoma is a rare pediatric tumor of the retina, caused by the homozygous loss of the Retinoblastoma 1 (RB1) tumor suppressor gene. Previous microarray studies have identified changes in the expression profiles of coding genes; however, our ...

Epigenetic Reprogramming by Decitabine in Retinoblastoma
Introduction: Retinoblastoma (Rb) is a rare cancer, yet it is the most common eye tumor in children. It can occur in either a familial or sporadic form, with the sporadic variant being more prevalent, though its downstream effects on ...

Pleiotropic effects of the gene for retinoblastoma [PDF]
Vigorous treatment of retinoblastoma in the last 30 years has resulted in a large population of survivors with useful vision, in which the late effects of genetically associated tumours can be seen. An increase in second primary tumours, mainly osteogenic sarcoma, has been found in those children who carry the germinal mutations, and not in the ...

Optic nerve thickening on high-spatial-resolution MRI predicts early-stage postlaminar optic nerve invasion in retinoblastoma [PDF]
To assess the diagnostic accuracy of nerve thickening on MRI to predict early-stage postlaminar optic nerve invasion (PLONI) in retinoblastoma. Furthermore, this study aimed to incorporate measurements into a multiparametric model for radiological ...

A retinoblastoma orthologue is a major regulator of S-phase, mitotic, and developmental gene expression in Dictyostelium. [PDF]
The retinoblastoma tumour suppressor, Rb, has two major functions. First, it represses genes whose products are required for S-phase entry and progression thus stabilizing cells in G1.
