Of the more than 3,000 variants that have been identified in the NF1 gene, only a handful of specific variants can be correlated to certain NF1 symptoms. In this post, I’ll discuss the major known ...
A new study analyzing the association between an individual's genetics (genotype) and their observable characteristics resulting from the interaction of genetics and the environment (phenotype), ...
Currently, retinoblastoma (RB) occurs in 1 of every 20,000 births, making it the most common pediatric intraocular neoplasm. The cancer results from biallelic inactivation of the RB1 tumor-suppressor ...
