The Retinoblastoma Genetic Screening Unit is one of only two genetics centres for retinoblastoma (a form of eye cancer) in England and Wales. We provide a genetics service for patients and their relatives, performing molecular genetic tests for predisposition to retinoblastoma.   We work closely with our colleagues at Barts and The London's clinical retinoblastoma service, which is a designated provider of retinoblastoma care in the south of England.

The unit participates in the external quality assessment scheme organised by the European Molecular Genetics Quality Network (EMQN) and is fully accredited by Clinical Pathology Accreditation (UK) Ltd (CPA).
