<prompt> All of the following statements are true regarding retinoblastoma, except:Rb genes play major role in cell cycle regulationRequire deletion of both the Rb genesFamilial variant is autosomal dominant in inheritanceRb gene is on chromosome 14p13  <response>: Rb gene Governor of the cell cycle Negative regulator of the G1S cell cycle transition. Located on 13q14 chromosome. To explain the two patterns of occurrence of retinoblastoma, Knudson proposed two hit hypothesis of oncogenesis. Two mutations hits, involving both alleles of RB at chromosome locus 13q14, are required to produce retinoblastoma. Familial variant is autosomal dominant in inheritance.
