From Deseret News archives:
Retinoblastoma
Retinoblastoma, relatively uncommon, accounts for about 3 percent of the cancers in children younger than 15. The tumors originate in the retina, the light-sensitive layer of the eye, which enables the eye to see. When the tumors are present in one eye, it is referred to as unilateral retinoblastoma, and when it occurs in both eyes it is referred to as bilateral retinoblastoma. Sixty percent of cases involve only one eye (unilateral); the rest affect both eyes (bilateral). Ninety percent of retinoblastoma patients have no family history of the disease; only 10 percent of newly diagnosed patients have other family members with retinoblastoma.
Early diagnosis and intervention is critical to successful treatment.
Common indicators include:
A white "glow" or "glint" in the pupil of one or both eyes in dim light
White pupil in a color photo
Crossed or misaligned eyes
