  • Look Inside

We performed chromosome analysis of peripheral lymphocytes in 94 cases of retinoblastoma. We also examined phenotypes and enzyme activities of erythrocyte esterase D in 30 affected cases and 38 family members.

Examination of esterase D proved useful for genetic counselling in one out of 9 families with hereditary retinoblastoma.

We detected abnormalities of chromosome 13 in 3cases of sporadic bilateral retinoblastoma. One case showed 13q14 deletion (q13q14.3) and decreased esterase D activity to 50% of noral value. The other two cases showed 13q14 deletion (q14.1q21.2) and 13/18 translocation (breakpoint of chromosome 13 : q14.1) respectively. Esterase D activity was normal in these two cases.

Our findings are in accord with the view that the locus of retinoblastoma gene is on 13q14.1 but that it is distinct from that of esterase D. The loci for the genes ought to be arranged in the linear order: centromere-esterase D-retinoblastoma.
