Table 4.
The genetic inheritance of the RB1 mutation in the cohort.

RB1 = retinoblastoma gene.
P < .05 is significant.
De novo: no family history of retinoblastoma, but the patient was a carrier of RB1 gene mutation and was the first index case.
A family history of retinoblastoma and the patient was a carrier of the RB1 gene mutation.
*No family history of retinoblastoma, and the patient was not carry RB1 gene mutation.
