Retinoblastoma is initiated by loss-of-function of the tumor suppressor gene RB1 (RB1 -/-) in one eye (unilateral) or both eyes (bilateral). There are different implications for care for different scenarios. Notably, a rare cause of non-heritable retinoblastoma is unrelated to RB1, amplification of the gene MYCN.
