A member asked:
If i had retinoblastoma as a baby, what are the chances of my child getting it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: The data suggests 7-45% depending on whether u had one or both eyes involved. A good parent resource can be found @ www.Retinoblastoma.Com . A session with a genetic counselor who has reviewed both parents family trees & specifics of existing conditions can render a specific set of risks for your situation.
