The
correct answer is no.
The
development of retinoblastoma occurs as a consequence of mutation of genes RB1
or MYCN. Those mutations occur in the early stages of fetal development and affect
the way in which cells grow and develop within the body. The more common is the
defective RB1 gene that can be inherited from either parent. The expression of
the RB1 allele is autosomal dominant.
