## Abstract Loss of p16^INK4a^ protein expression has frequently been related to DNA methylation in association with gene silencing. Although the methylation status of exon1Ξ± for p16^INK4a^ involvement in various cancers has been extensively analyzed, it has been pointed out that some inconsistenci
The p16 (CDKN2/MTS-1/INK4A) tumor-suppressor gene is frequently inactivated by DNA methylation in lung carcinomas. To clarify whether background anthracosis may play a role in DNA methylation and inactivation of the p16 gene, we examined DNA methylation of the p16-promoter region by methylation-spec
