Two hypotheses are capable of explaining nonrandom loss of one parent's alleles at tumor suppressor loci in sporadic cases of several pediatric cancers, including retinoblastoma--namely, preferential germ-line mutation or chromosome imprinting. We have examined 74 cases of sporadic retinoblastoma for tumors in which at least two genetic events--loss of heterozygosity for chromosome 13q markers and formation of an isochromosome 6p--have occurred. Sixteen cases were found to contain both events. In 13 of 16 such tumors, the chromosomes 13q that were lost and chromosomes 6p that were duplicated are derived from the same parent. These data may be explained within the framework of the genome imprinting model but are not predicted by preferential germ-line mutation.

D012175 Retinoblastoma A malignant tumor arising from the nuclear layer of the retina that is the most common primary tumor of the eye in children. The tumor tends to occur in early childhood or infancy and may be present at birth. The majority are sporadic, but the condition may be transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. Histologic features include dense cellularity, small round polygonal cells, and areas of calcification and necrosis. An abnormal pupil reflex (leukokoria); NYSTAGMUS, PATHOLOGIC; STRABISMUS; and visual loss represent common clinical characteristics of this condition.
