Mutational analysis of the pl6ICDKN2 gene was conducted by direct sequencing of the whole coding sequence (exom 1-3 and flanking splicing sites) in 21 esophageal squamous-cell carcinomas and 3 adenocarcinomas from a high-incidence area of Italy. Two inactivating mutations were found in exon I of the
To elucidate the possibility of the existence of multiple tumor suppressor genes on chromosome arm 9p, we performed genetic and epigenetic analyses of the CDKN2A/p16/MTS1 and CDKN2B/p15/MTS2 genes as well as homozygous deletion mapping of 9p in human lung carcinoma. To avoid overlooking genetic alte
The tumor suppressor gene CDKN2 (p16/MTS1) resides on chromosome 9p21 and encodes a 16 kDa inhibitor of the cyclin-dependent kinases. Inactivation of CDKN2 by homozygous deletion, point mutation, and recently described aberrant methylation in the 5' promoter region may increase progression through t
The tumor suppressor gene CDKN2A (MTS1/p16), located on chromosome 9p21, is inactivated in a variety of tumors including melanomas and tumors of the biliary tract, pancreas, and stomach. The aim of the present study was to determine whether this gene is inactivated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
