title: Separation of retinoblastoma and esterase D loci in a patient with sporadic retinoblastoma and del(13)(q14.1q22.3).
abstract: A chromosome 13 deletion in a patient with sporadic retinoblastoma appears to have separated the loci for retinoblastoma and esterase D. This study indicates that: (1) the retinoblastoma locus is distinct from the esterase D locus; and (2) the linear order of these genes is centromere-esterase D-retinoblastoma.
