Official title
Feasibility, Validation and Differentiation of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Produced From Patients With Heritable Retinoblastoma
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The goal of this study is to determine if human RB1-deficient induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can produce retina, and, furthermore, can give rise to retinoblastoma in culture. This unique opportunity to study the initiation of retinoblastoma in the developing retina will shed light on the cell of origin for retinoblastoma and allow the investigators to study the earliest molecular and cellular events in retinoblastoma tumorigenesis. OBJECTIVES: * To establish the feasibility of producing induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from retinoblastoma patients with germline RB1 mutations (RB1-deficient iPSCs). * To validate human RB1-deficient iPSCs by confirming karyotype, pluripotency and RB1 mutation. * To differentiate the RB1-deficient iPSCs into retina as a model of the initiation of retinoblastoma in the developing retina.
