Eight patients with retinoblastoma (RB) were studied by high resolution chromosome R-banding technique, and the esterase D was quantitatively determined in red blood cells of the patients. Among these patients, 2 showed 13q14 deletion mosaicism, 1 showed a monosomy 13q14.1-q14.2, and the remaining 5 had normal karyotype. Our findings indicated that 1) the RB gene is located at 13q14.1. The result confirmed previous data; 2) 13q deletion is an important event in the development of RB; and 3) esterase D determination is an important diagnostic tool in the detection of 13q deletion, useful for prenatal diagnosis and genetic counselling.
应用高分辨染色体R显带技术对8例视网膜母细胞瘤(RB)患者进行了研究,并对患者红细胞中的酯酶D进行了定量测定。这些患者中,2例显示13q14缺失嵌合体,1例显示13q14.1-q14.2单体,其余5例核型正常。我们的研究结果表明:1)RB基因位于13q14.1,该结果证实了先前的数据;2)13q缺失是RB发生发展中的一个重要事件;3)酯酶D测定是检测13q缺失的一项重要诊断工具,对产前诊断和遗传咨询有用。
