Chromosome 9p21 is frequently deleted in malignant melanoma, and one familial malignant melanoma gene has been linked to 9p21-22. Recently, the cyclin D-dependent kinase inhibitors (CDKIs) p16INK4a and p15INK4b have been localized within chromosome 9p21, and the presence of p16INK4a point mutations
## Abstract Aberrant promoter methylation is an important mechanism for gene silencing. In the present study, 50 Barrett's esophagus‐associated esophageal adenocarcinomas (ADC), 50 cardiac ADC and 50 gastric ADC were investigated by means of methylation‐specific real‐time PCR for hypermethylation i
## Abstract Loss of p16^INK4a^ protein expression has frequently been related to DNA methylation in association with gene silencing. Although the methylation status of exon1α for p16^INK4a^ involvement in various cancers has been extensively analyzed, it has been pointed out that some inconsistenci
