This is a genotype with recommended actions if clinically confirmed. In brief:
- Retinoblastoma (Rb) is a is life- and vision-threatening childhood cancer, due to certain mutations in the RB1 gene.
- Specialized treatment centers with multidisciplinary teams of specialists including an RB specialist, ophthalmology, pediatric oncology, anesthetist, ocularist, pathology, radiation oncology, and social worker/psychosocial support are critical for the care of children and families with Rb.
- Surveillance beginning at birth by way of dedicated ophthalmic screening is recommended for all children at risk for retinoblastoma.
- Radiation should be avoided due to the increased risk of primary secondary tumors.
