Abstract

A chromosome 13 deletion in a patient with sporadic retinoblastoma appears to have separated the loci for retinoblastoma and esterase D. This study indicates that: (1) the retinoblastoma locus is distinct from the esterase D locus; and (2) the linear order of these genes is centromere-esterase D-retinoblastoma.
