The identification of somatic RB1 variation is crucial to confirm the heritability of retinoblastoma. We and others have previously shown that, when tumour DNA is unavailable, cell-free DNA (cfDNA) derived from aqueous humour (AH) can be used to identify somatic RB1 pathogenic variation. Here we report RB1 pathogenic variant detection, as well as cfDNA concentration in an extended cohort of 75 AH samples from 68 patients. We show cfDNA concentration is highly variable and significantly correlated with the collecti…
