Chromosome region 9p21 contains a tumor suppressor locus (p16) that may be involved in the genesis of several kinds of malignant tumors. To characterize the role of this gene in the development of soft-tissue tumors (STTs), we investigated the frequency of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at this locus.
## Abstract The __p16__^INK4a^ gene, localized within chromosome 9p21, has been identified as a cyclinβdependent kinase inhibitor and may negatively regulate the cell cycle acting as a tumor suppressor. Genetic alterations involving the 9p21 region are common in human cancers. A consecutive series
