Previous transcriptional profiling analysis of 14 primary ovarian tumors identified approximately 12,000 genes as decreased in expression by at least twofold in one or more of the tumors sampled. Among those genes were several known to be mapped to common fragile sites (CFSs), some of which had prev

The p16 INK4A gene, which encodes the cell-cycle regulatory protein cyclin-dependent kinase 4 inhibitor, is a putative tumor-suppressor gene. We examined p16 gene alterations in 30 primary ovarian cancers and 11 ovarian cancer cell lines. Five of the primary cancers (16.7%) had lost both p16 INK4A g
## Abstract Common fragile sites (CFS) are large, genomically unstable regions, which are hot‐spots for deletions and other alterations, especially in cancer cells. Several have been shown to contain genes that span large genomic regions, such as __FHIT__ (1.5 Mb), __WWOX__ (1.0 Mb), __GRID2__ (1.3
