Overview
Retinoblastoma may be caused by mutation in both alleles of RB1 tumor suppressor gene or due to somatic amplification of the MYCN oncogene.
Causes
Heritable Retinoblastoma
- In children with the heritable genetic form of retinoblastoma, there is a mutation of RB1 gene on chromosome 13.[1]
- Somatic amplification of the MYCN oncogene is responsible for some cases of non-hereditary, early-onset, aggressive, and unilateral retinoblastoma.
Sporadic Heritable Retinoblastoma
- The exact cause of the sporadic heritable form of the disease is still unclear.
- Since the sporadic form of retinoblastoma occurs due to a new germline mutation, it should occur before conception. For this reason, preconception exposure to mutagens is hypothesized to be a potential risk factor.[2]
- 13q deletion syndrome may also cause retinoblastoma. However, the tumor tends to occur at a later age and unilaterally.[3]
