Inactivation of p15(Ink4b) expression by promoter hypermethylation occurs in up to 80% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cases and is particularly common in the FAB-M2 subtype of AML, which is characterized by the presence of the RUNX1-ETO translocation in 40% of cases. To establish whether the loss o
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
Immunohistochemistry was used to analyze samples of 40 newly diagnosed childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALL) for their expression of cyclins (D1, E, A), cyclindependent kinases (cdk2, cdk4) and tumor-suppressor genes (pRb, p16 INK4A ), in order to discover whether or not the expression of th
