Affymetrix SNP array data for cone precursor derived retinoblastoma like samples
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Retinoblastoma is a childhood retinal tumor that initiates in response to biallelic RB1 inactivation. We show that post-mitotic human cone precursors are uniquely sensitive to the oncogenic effects of Rb depletion. Rb knockdown induced cone precursor proliferation in prospectively isolated populations. SNP-array analysis of two Rb/p130-depleted cone precursor cell lines, revealing no megabase-size loss of heterozygosity (LOH) or copy number alterations (CNAs). SNP-array analysis of one Rb/p130-depleted (tumor 1) or one Rb-depleted (tumor 2) cone precursor-derived tumors, revealing no megabase-size LOH or CNAs, consistent with the lack of DNA copy number alterations in some retinoblastomas. Thus, the cone precursor tumors resembled human retinoblastomas at the molecular cytogenetic level.
