Overview
Retinoblastoma may be caused by mutation in both allels 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 on chromosome 13, called the RB1 gene.[1]
- Somatic amplification of the MYCN oncogene is responsible for some cases of non-hereditary, early-onset, aggressive, 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 the conception. For this reason, preconception exposure to mutagens is hypothesized to be the potential risk factors.[2]
- 13q deletion syndrome may also cause retinoblastoma. However, the tumor tends to occur at a later age and unilaterally.[3]
