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
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
