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

โฆ Synopsis
BACKGROUND.
Alterations of the suppressor genes, such as the retinoblastoma (RB), p53, pl6(CDKN2), and p15 genes, have been reported in human gliomas. These genes have been suggested as the cell cycle regulatory genes at the G,-S checkpoint.

We have examined the roles of 2 putative tumor-suppressor genes, the p16 and p15 inhibitor-of-cyclin-dependentkinase genes, in the most commonly occurring epithelial tumors of the human ovary. Expression of p16 mRNA, examined by RT-PCR, was significantly reduced in 15 of the 48 tumors. Aberrant expr
Squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus has an uneven geographic distribution, with a high incidence in the Transkei region of Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. The precise molecular events associated with tumorigenesis of esophageal cancer in this region have not been characterized. DNA from hu
## Background: It has been suggested that cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (cdkis), including p16 and p15, are tumor suppressor genes. alterations of cdkis have been found in most types of cancer. however, little is known about the status of p16 and p15 genes, including methylation of the promote
The role of two important tumour suppressor genes, p16 and p53, was evaluated in cartilaginous tumour tissues. Genomic DNA from 22 chondrosarcomas, 5 benign chondroid tumours, 1 sample of reactive proliferative cartilage and 2 samples of normal cartilage were analysed using polymerase chain reaction
