“…It is possible that some of the cases originally ascertained as unilateral in this study later developed tumours in the other eye. Among 550 cases ascertained in the Netherlands, 31% were found to be bilateral (Schappert-Kimmijser et al, 1966), and in a study of 899 cases of retinoblastoma in France, 34% were bilateral (Bonaiti-Pellie, 1976). …”

“…Vogel bases his estimate, which is the one nearly always quoted for genetic counselling, on the joint results from seven separate studies, the largest study (Schappert-Kimmijser et al, 1966), giving a particularly high rate of affected children in the families of survivors from unilateral sporadic retinoblastoma. If the selection of cases included in some of these seven studies was biased this could lead to an overestimate of the risk: such bias could arise for instance if unilateral sporadic probands were included in a series after being ascertained through an affected offspring.…”

“…This form of the disease generally affects both eyes, whereas the spontaneous form usually affects a single eye. The occurrence of retinoblastoma as both heritable and sporadic forms has allowed detailed statistical analyses, which indicate a relationship between these two forms of the disease (2)(3)(4)(5). A locus, RBJ, which plays a role in the development of this tumor, has been localized to the q14 band of human chromosome 13 through segregation analysis (6) and by the identification of specific deletions of this chromosomal region in some retinoblastoma patients or their tumors (7)(8)(9).…”
