Abstract
- We analysed the clinical findings in four families of hereditary retinoblastoma. All four children with retinoblastoma were male. Two of them were diagnosed after two years of age and the remainder were before seven months of age. The relatives affected with retinoblastoma were one father, one mother, one sibling, and one second cousin of patients respectively. To our knowledge, this is the first report of hereditary retinoblastoma with family history in Korea.
