Nx GEN SEQUENCING: HEREDITARY RETINOBLASTOMA Test
Retinoblastoma is a rare form of cancer that develops in the retina of the eye. It usually occurs in young children and can lead to vision loss or blindness if not treated promptly. Hereditary retinoblastoma is caused by mutations in the RB1 gene, which is responsible for regulating cell growth and division in the retina.
Symptoms of Hereditary Retinoblastoma
The symptoms of hereditary retinoblastoma can vary depending on the severity of the condition. Some common symptoms include:
- White pupils
- Crossed eyes
- Redness or swelling in the eye
- Eye pain or discomfort
If you notice any of these symptoms in your child, it is important to schedule an appointment with an ophthalmologist as soon as possible.
Diagnosis of Hereditary Retinoblastoma
Diagnosing hereditary retinoblastoma typically involves a comprehensive eye exam, including a dilated retinal exam. Your doctor may also order additional tests, such as:
- Ultrasound
- MRI
- CT scan
If hereditary retinoblastoma is suspected, genetic testing may also be recommended to confirm the diagnosis and identify any mutations in the RB1 gene.
