Abstract

In this review, we aim to provide a survey of hereditable tumor predisposition syndromes with a mendelian inheritance pattern and ocular involvement. We focus our discussion on von Hippel-Lindau disease, neurofibromatosis type 1, NF2-related schwannomatosis, tuberous sclerosis complex, retinoblastoma, and the BAP1 Tumor Predisposition Syndrome. For each of the six diseases, we discuss the clinical presentation and the molecular pathophysiology. We emphasize the genetics, current research models, and therapeutic developments. After reading each disease section, readers should possess an understanding of the clinical presentation, genetic causes and inheritance patterns, and current state of research in disease modeling and treatment.
