Chromosomal Deletion and Retinoblastoma

Knudson, Alfred G., Meadows, Anna T., Nichols, Warren W., Hill, Rosina·1976·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

Retinoblastoma occurs at a very high rate among two groups of genetically predisposed persons: those who inherit the tumor potential with a dominant mode of transmission, and those who bear a deletion of the long arm of chromosome 13 in all their somatic cells. The latter group is particularly important because it is the only instance in animal or man in which a specific chromosomal abnormality can occur prezygotically and consistently predispose to a specific tumor. We report below a new case of this deletion and consider its relation to previously reported cases and the relation between the two genetic . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
