The Retinoblastoma Gene

The Retinoblastoma Gene

Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...

Background:

Retinoblastoma is a rare eye cancer primarily affecting young children, necessitating early diagnosis to prevent vision loss.
Current diagnostic methods for retinoblastoma rely on clinician expertise for identifying cancerous regions, highlighting a need for automated solutions.
Deep learning, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), offers promising capabilities for image analysis in medical diagnostics.
