Constitutional karyotype in retinoblastoma. Case report and review of literature.
High resolution karyotype was performed in 13 retinoblastoma patients. A mosaic pattern for del(13)(q14.1;q14.3) was found in a girl with sporadic bilateral retinoblastoma and midface dysmorphism. In addition, 162 cases of 13q aberrations were reviewed, including 140 retinoblastoma patients and 22 non-penetrance 13q14 deletions. Some epidemiological and genetic involvements are discussed.
