THE BLOOM SYNDROME AND RETINOBLASTOMA PATIENT EXHIBITS TWO RB1 GENE MUTATIONS IN THE GERMLINE
Without a family history of cancer, a patient with retinoblastoma and Bloom syndrome presents two mutations in the germline on the RB1 gene; this results in very low levels of RB1 mRNA systemically, thereby increasing the patient's risk of developing another type of cancer throughout his life.
