Indeed, our findings may explain why aggressive bilateral retinoblastomas develop after a retina-specific deletion of Rb in mice with decreased p107/p130 levels, or a retina-specific loss of both Rb and p53 in mice lacking p107, but not after a retina-specific loss of Rb in mice lacking only p107 [12], [13]. The gene discussed is RBL2; the disease is retinoblastoma.
