Abstract
In a patient with a 13qXp translocation and retinoblastoma the band associated with retinoblastoma (13q14) was clearly translocated intact to the X chromosome rather than being the breakpoint of the translocation. Genetic inactivation of the derivative X chromosome shown by late labeling and cell hybridization techniques in the predominance of cells indicated a functional monosomy for this segment as the most likely predisposing factor in producing retinoblastoma.Entities:
