Retinoblastoma (Rb) is the most common primary intraocular childhood malignancy and one of the main causes of blindness in children. In China, most tumors are diagnosed at an advanced stage and have relatively poor outcomes compared to developed countries. Here, we aimed to update the clinical manifestations and RB transcriptional corepressor 1 (RB1) mutation spectrum in Chinese Rb patients. Medical charts of 184 eyes in 145 Chinese Rb patients belonging to unrelated families were reviewed. Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood of the patients and their parents. Mutation analysis of whole coding regions, promoter regions and flanking splice sites in the RB1 gene was performed. In addition, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) was done to detect gross aberrations. Germline RB1 mutations were observed in 37.2% (54/145) of Rb patients. RB1-mutated patients presented with earlier age of diagnosis (p = 0.019), with a significantly larger proportion of bilateral cases (p =
