Detailed Phenotypic and Genotype Study to Correlate RB1 Mutations Relating to Primary Ocular Tumors and Secondary Extra-ocular Metastasis.

March 17, 2026 updated by: Debarshi Mustafi, University of Washington

Genetic Associations of Ocular Cancers

The goal of this observational study is undertake a detailed phenotypic and genotypic study of patients with ocular and secondary cancers due to mutations in the RB1 gene. Our research sequencing approach will allow advanced insight to for further detailed genotypic understanding of parent-of-origin for valuable insight into the genotype-phenotype relationship of this cancer syndrome.
