## Abstract The p16^Ink4^/MTSI/CDKN2 is a cellβcycle regulatory inhibitor of cyclinβdependent kinase 4 (cdk4), and a candidate tumour suppressor whose gene on chromosome band 9p21 is frequently deleted or mutated in diverse types of cancer. Cdk4 in association with its Dβtype cyclin partners, toget

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
Cyclin-dependent kinillre-4 inhibitor genes (INK4) regulate the cell cycle and are candidate tumor-suppressor genes. To determine if alterations in the coding regions of the p18 and p l 9 genes, which are novel members of the INK4 family and if they correlate with the development of human cancer, 10
The p 16INK4 tumor-suppressor gene (also known as CDKNZ, CDK41 and MTSI) encodes a negative regulator of the cell cycle. This gene, located in 9pZ I, is mutated or homozygously deleted in a high percentage of tumor cell lines and specific types of primary tumors. We have examined the status of the p
