Extractions: Full size image available below The Retinoblastoma Gene Studies of a rare childhood tumor, retinoblastoma, reveal an important class of genes called tumor suppressers that control cell division. The retinoblastoma tumor suppresser gene produces a protein important for nervous system development, aging and replication of some viruses. Studies of this gene and other tumor suppressers are leading to new ideas for preventing or treating retinoblastoma and other diseases. Think of riding a rollercoaster without brakes. The thrilling speed and curves quickly become frightening as the coaster accelerates out of control.

Extractions: Search RNIB site for: Retinoblastoma is a malignant tumour or cancer which develops in the cells of the retina, the light sensitive lining of the eye. It can affect either one eye only, unilateral Retinoblastoma, both eyes, bilateral Retinoblastoma or occasionally include intracranial involvement which is described as trilateral Retinoblastoma. Approximately two thirds of children with Retinoblastoma have one eye affected and one third of children with Retinoblastoma have tumours in both eyes. Retinoblastoma has one of the best cure rates of all childhood cancers and over 9 out of 10 children with Retinoblastoma can be cured (Kingston, 1997). Retinoblastoma is the most common primary ocular malignancy in childhood with a frequency of about 1:20,000. Retinoblastoma may occur sporadically or it may be inherited. 40% of incidences of Retinoblastoma are familial and 60% occur sporadically. Children with bilateral Retinoblastoma tend to present during the first year of life whilst the peak age of diagnosis with unilateral Retinoblastoma is between 24 and 30 months.

http://www.rnib.org.uk/info/retinob.htm

Extractions: Search RNIB site for: In the UK there are about 45 new cases each year, equivalent to approximately one case in every 20,000 live births. There is no significant variation between the sexes. In approximately two-thirds of children, only one eye is affected (unilateral) but in the remaining third, tumours develop in both eyes (bilateral). It is a tumour of early childhood and less than 5% of cases are diagnosed after the age of five years. The peak age of diagnosis for children with unilateral disease is between 24 and 29 months whilst children with bilateral disease tend to present earlier, usually during the first year of life. Retinoblastoma occurs in two forms: a genetic, hereditary variant and a non-genetic, non-hereditary form. Approximately 40% of children with retinoblastoma have the genetic form. This includes all children with bilateral disease and about 5% of those with unilateral. In 10% of patients there is a known family history while the rest develop the disease as a result of a new germ-line mutation. Patients with the genetic form have an increased susceptibility to the subsequent development of other malignant tumours. Although the cause of retinoblastoma is unknown, we do know that its development is controlled by a 'suppressor' or regulating gene known as the human retinoblastoma susceptibility gene. This gene is recessive at the cellular level since inactivation or loss of both alleles of the gene appears to be necessary for the development of the disease. The gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 13 and has been implicated in the development of other cancers including osteosarcoma, small cell carcinoma of the lung, bladder, breast and various soft tissue sarcomas.

RETINOBLASTOMA
retinoblastoma. What is retinoblastoma? retinoblastoma is the commonest eye cancerin infancy and childhood, affecting one in seventeen thousand live births.
http://www.nevdgp.org.au/geninf/std_misc/RETINOBLASTOMA.htm

Extractions: The cause is unknown. What is known is that the child's genetic material (DNA) plays a major part. If both eyes are affected there is a 50% chance that the disease will be passed on to the child's offspring. In these cases genetic counselling is important. If only one eye is affected there is no significant risk of the disease being passed on to the next generation unless others in the family are affected. What should I look for? Flashlight photos may reveal a "cat's eye reflex". A normal retina reflects a red colour in a photo taken using a flash (cameras without red-eye reduction). If the child has the tumours they will reflect a white light instead. Look at flash photos carefully to see if the red reflex in each eye is the same. A squint (the child's eyes do not line up properly) or poor sight can be the first sign of retinoblastoma. This may happen if the tumours grow across the reading centre of the eye.

Extractions: Retinoblastoma is a cancer of the eye in children. It originates from the retina , the light sensitive layer, in eye. It is the commonest eye tumor of the eye in childhood. . This tumor may involve one (75% of cases) or both (25% of cases) eyes in a child. Untreated, retinoblastoma is almost always fatal, hence the importance of early diagnosis and treatment Of all the cases of retinoblastoma, in 60% of cases it does not get transmitted to the next generation, while in 40% of cases it may get transmitted in the next generation. Therefore it is important to have a genetic counseling before having a baby to determine the risk of another child getting the same disease. Also, the siblings and children of the patients with retinoblastoma should be examined periodically in their childhood to detect any possible tumor early.

Extractions: Subscribe now >> Retinoblastoma is a rare cancer of the eye. It may be hereditary, and one-third of the cases involve both eyes. Retinoblastoma often can be seen by looking at the young person's eye but is usually diagnosed by an examination under general anesthesia using an ophthalmoscope, an instrument used in examining the interior of the eye. The disease tends to remain localized for long periods, but in advanced stages, it can metastasize, or spread to other parts of the body. x-rays, bone marrow examination, MRI, and a bone scan can be done to check for metastases. If diagnosed early, it is possible to destroy the tumor with radiation therapy and preserve normal vision. If the tumor is so large that there is no hope of maintaining useful vision using radiation, the eye is removed. In cases where both eyes are involved, an attempt is made to preserve vision in both eyes through treatment with radiation. When advanced disease is found in both eyes, an attempt is made to preserve vision in at least one eye. Whenever there is any possibility of useful vision, all efforts are made to preserve it. Chemotherapy, radiation, or both may also be used to treat metastases. Information provided by the

Extractions: printer friendly RETINOBLASTOMA home more about us in your area conditions information ... how you can help search this site Retinoblastoma is a malignant tumour which develops at the back of the eye. It originates in the cells of the retina, the light sensitive lining of the eye. It affects babies and young children and is very rare after the age of 5 years. Retinoblastoma may be unilateral (affecting one eye) or bilateral (both eyes involved). The unilateral form is more common and accounts for approximately 60% of all cases. However, when a unilateral tumour is diagnosed in very young children, particularly during the first year of life, a tumour may subsequently develop in the other eye so regular eye checks must be undertaken to detect any new tumours at an early stage. More than 95% of children with Retinoblastoma can be cured. Treatment of Retinoblastoma may include surgery, chemotherapy, laser therapy, freezing treatment, plaque or external beam radiotherapy. Often a combination of treatments is needed. If only one eye is affected, the child is likely to have normal vision in the other eye and will not need any special help at school. Where both eyes are affected, low vision aids are sometimes necessary to enable the child to attend a mainstream school.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Retinoblastoma occurs when a cell of the growing retina develops a mutation in the RB gene (a tumor suppresser gene). This mutation causes the cell to grow out of control and become cancer. Sometimes this mutation develops in a child whose family has never had eye cancer, but other times the mutation is present in several family members. If the mutation runs in the family, there is a 50% chance that an affected person's children will also have the mutation and a high risk of developing retinoblastoma. One or both eyes may be affected. A visible whiteness in the pupil may be present. Blindness can occur in the affected eye, and the eyes may appear crossed. The tumor can spread to the eye socket, and to the brain, by means of the optic nerve. This is a rare tumor, except in families that carry the RB gene mutation.
