Recent reviews have noted that the region 13q14 is consistently deleted in documented cases. Prometaphase and late prophase banding allowed Yunis and Ramsay to determine that a deletion in one patient included the sub-bands q14 . 12, q14 . 13, and q14 . 2, and a portion of q14 . 11 and q14 . 3. We report the results of similar cytogenetic techniques applied in the case of a 26 month old Caucasian female with unilateral retinoblastoma, moderate developmental delay, and subtle dysmorphology. Prometaphase banding of cultured skin fibroblasts revealed the karyotype: mos46,XX\/46,XX,del(13)(q13 . 1q14 . 11). Only the sub-band q14 . 11 is deleted in both our patient and that of Yunis and Ramsay. The results are consistent with the localisation of the retinoblastoma susceptibility gene(s) in the sub-band 13q14 . 11. Electrophoretic analysis and activity assays of red blood cell esterase D are consistent with hemizygous expression of that marker in our proband. Comparison with published esterase D analyses in families with retinoblastoma permits the assignment of the esterase D locus to that same sub-band, 13q14 . 11.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/jmg.21.2.92","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,11,10]],"date-time":"2008-11-10T15:09:16Z","timestamp":1226329756000},"page":"92-95","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":44,"title":["Location of the retinoblastoma susceptibility gene(s) and the human esterase D locus."],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"P","family":"Ward","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S","family":"Packman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"W","family":"Loughman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M","family":"Sparkes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"R","family":"Sparkes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A","family":"McMahon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"T","family":"Gregory","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Ablin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1984,4,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"161","article-title":"Retinoblastoma and subband deletion of chromosome 13","volume":"132","author":"Yunis, J.J.; Ramsay, N.","year":"1978","unstructured":"Yunis JJ, Ramsay N.
