RB1 encodes a ubiquitously expressed nuclear protein that is involved in cell cycle regulation (G1 to S transition). The RB protein is phosphorylated by members of the cyclin-dependent kinase (cdk) system prior to the entry into S-phase. On phosphorylation, the binding activity of the pocket domain is lost, resulting in the release of cellular proteins.

Figure 3 | Genetic origins of retinoblastoma. Three genetic subtypes of retinoblastoma
are known. Patients with heritable retinoblastoma have a constitutive inactivating
mutation (mutation 1 (M1)) in the tumour‑suppressor retinoblastoma gene (RB1) in all
cells of their body. A second, somatic mutation (M2) in a susceptible retinal cell can lead
to benign retinoma. Further genetic and/or epigenetic events (M3 … Mn) are required to
transform the retinoma into retinoblastoma. Non-heritable RB1

Schematic of the molecular genetic mechanisms that result in non-heritable and heritable retinoblastoma. The development of retinoblastoma is initiated if both RB1 alleles are mutated.
In non-heritable retinoblastoma, both pathogenic variants (first and second variant) occur in somatic cells (somatic variants). Note: The pathogenic variants are not detected (two normal alleles, RB RB) in DNA from constitutional cells (e.g., from peripheral blood).
In heritable retinoblastoma, only the second mutation is a somatic event. Independent second pathogenic variants give rise to independent tumor foci (multifocal retinoblastoma tumors). The first pathogenic variant is inherited via the germline (either a de novo germline variant or a pathogenic allele inherited from a parent). Note: In constitutional cells, the affected individual is heterozygous (RB rb) for the mutated allele.
In some affected individuals the first pathogenic variant has occurred during embryonal development. Note: The affected individual is somatic mosaic for the first pathogenic variant. Tumors may develop from cells that belong to the mutated sector stemming from the cell in which the first pathogenic variant has occurred.

Figure 1 | Progression of retinoblastoma. a | Anatomical features of a healthy eye. Genomic damage (indicated by a lightning bolt) leads to mutation of the retinoblastoma gene (RB1), resulting in biallelic functional loss of RB1 in a developing retinal cell (possibly a cone photoreceptor precursor cell that is dependent on retinoblastoma protein (pRB) to stop proliferation). b | Genomic instability leads to the formation of a benign retinoma; only 5% of patients have retinoma without retinoblastoma. Inset shows a small retinoma that is not visible except by optical coherence tomography. c | Intraretinal retinoblastoma arises as additional genomic changes promote uncontrolled cell proliferation; the tumour grows and seeds become independent, floating under the retina and into the vitreous. d | Retinoblastoma can invade adjacent tissues, such as the optic nerve, uvea or sclera, which constitutes a high-risk pathological feature. Eventually, retinoblastoma can extend extraocularly into the orbit and metastasize, especially to the bone marrow, or into the brain (direct or via the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)).
cFigure 5 | Online diagnosis of retinoblastoma. Detection of photoleukocoria (white pupil) on this digital image led the parents to the diagnosis of retinoblastoma. The left eye was determined by examination under anaesthesia (EUA) to have International Intraocular Retinoblastoma Classification (IIRC)79 Group D retinoblastoma and was enucleated 2 days later; a CT scan was scheduled to check for trilateral tumour. Today, MRI would be recommended to reduce radiation exposure. The pathological examination of the eye showed no high-risk features. The other eye was normal at diagnosis, but on the next examination a small tumour was detected and treated with only laser therapy (part a). One month after surgery, the child presented with high intracranial pressure. A large intracranial midline tumour (trilateral disease) was diagnosed on CT scan (arrow). The tumour was treated with chemotherapy, high-dose chemotherapy with haematopoietic rescue by stem cell transplantation, and intrathecal chemotherapy injections (directly into the cerebrospinal fluid) through an implanted intraventricular catheter (part b). Follow-up MRI at 8 years of age shows no residual disease (part c) and the child is well (part d), with one artificial eye and one eye with normal vision; he wears polycarbonate lenses to protect his only eye

Histological examination of the retinoblastoma after enucleation of the affected eye (FIG. 3) is the only way to evaluate high-risk features (tumour invasion into the optic nerve beyond the confines of the eye or to the cut end of nerve; >3 mm of invasion of the vascular layer (choroid) under the retina; or invasion of sclera) and establish pathological staging
by identifying children at risk prior to detection of tumours, knowledge of the RB1 mutation supports the requirement for early and aggressive tumour surveillance in order to institute early therapy to optimize outcomes. Failure to identify Rb tumours at the earliest time and smallest possible size compromises visual outcome, and increases the risk of tumours spreading beyond the eye. This is associated with a poorer outcome and requires more aggressive therapy, which is inherently associated with increased risks for the patient
Prenatal diagnosis enhances early management of Rbaffected infants. Obstetrical ultrasound can visualize large intraocular Rb in the fetus as early as 33 weeks gestation
Figure 1. Pretest risk for RB1 mutation in family members of affected child with retinoblastoma (adapted from Valenzuela et al. A Language for
Retinoblastoma: Guidelines and Standard Operating Procedures. In: Pediatric Retina. Reynolds JD, Olitsky SE, eds. 2011:218). Data presented reflect the RB1
mutation detection rates based on a large data set from one of the authors (B.L.G.) of molecular genetic results for retinoblastoma patients and their family
members (Racher and Gallie, unpublished data, 2017). A, All probands with bilateral disease have a constitutional mutant RB1 allele. However, the RB1
mutation is frequently de novo in the child with retinoblastoma. Thus, the majority of children with bilateral retinoblastoma are the first person in the family
with disease. Before testing the patient, the risk for relatives to develop retinoblastoma can be estimated on the basis of data from a large number of families.
The percentage of risk for relatives to carry the mutant allele of the proband is shown. B, Probands with unilateral disease and no family history of retinoblastoma
have a 15% risk for carrying a mutant RB1 allele. The percentage of risk for relatives to carry that allele is shown. *Third- and fourth-degree
relatives of unilateral probands have calculated risks of 0.003% and 0.001%, which are less than the normal population risk of 0.007% (1:15 000 live births);
therefore, the risk is stated at 0.007%.
Figure 2. Genetic testing for RB1 mutations provides clarification of risk for retinoblastoma (RB) in family members. Molecular testing identifies relatives
who carry the mutant RB1 allele and are at risk for the disease. Testing can also decrease the risk for relatives to the population risk, eliminating the need for
dedicated ophthalmic screening for retinoblastoma in some children, or modify the risk, allowing children to undergo less extensive screening. Genetic
testing and counseling for RB is a complex issue and is best performed in coordination with genetics professionals (genetic counselors or medical geneticists)
experienced in retinoblastoma. For example, although parents of a child with bilateral RB may test negative for an RB1 mutation, they still have a 5% risk
with each subsequent child because of the possibility of germline mosaicism in a parent. Tumor tissue, when available, and peripheral blood lymphocytes are
tested to identify mutations in RB1. Tumor tissue may not be available for testing if the child has not undergone enucleation or if frozen tumor is not
available from the surgery, particularly for adult long-term survivors of RB seeking genetics evaluation. *Based on pretest risk, as described in Figure 1 and
Table 1. **Calculated risk in this clinical scenario will depend on the sensitivity of the genetic testing, which varies with laboratory. The relative’s post-test
risk will likely be lower than pretest risk and will result in less intense screening (Fig 3) compared with pretest risk. Geneticists experienced in RB can
provide guidance in this situation. ***The risk to future offspring in this clinical scenario results from the risk that the proband is mosaic for the RB1
mutation and therefore has a risk of transmitting to offspring despite the negative blood test. Genetic testing of offspring for the RB1 mutation
identified in the tumor can eliminate this risk. Before testing, these children will be followed by intermediate risk (Fig 3); however, a genetics
professional can provide clarification of risk for a child according to the sensitivity of the gene testing for the parent, which varies by laboratory. When
no RB1 mutation has been identified in the blood sample of the proband, genetic testing is not recommended for family members because there is no
identified mutation to test for. Screening of relatives relies on the refined post-test risk estimate based on the negative results (and the sensitivity of the
test of the laboratory used).
Figure 3. Management guidelines for childhood screening for retinoblastoma. The presented schedules are general guidelines and reflect a schedule for
examinations in which no lesions of concern are noted. It may be appropriate to examine some children more frequently. Decisions regarding examination
method, examination under anesthesia (EUA) versus nonsedated examination in the office, are complex and best decided by the clinician in discussion with
the patient’s family. The preference of the majority of the clinical centers involved in the creation of this consensus statement is reflected, but individual
centers may make policy decisions based on available resources and expert clinician preference. Examination under anesthesia will be strongly considered for
any child who is unable to participate in an office examination sufficiently to allow thorough examination of the retina. *A minority of clinical centers also
prefer EUA for high- and intermediate-risk children (calculated risk >1%) from birth to 8 weeks of age.
