β¦ Synopsis
The p p ! 6INK4 and p I8 genes are members of the gene famil coding for inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6. frequently deleted in many human neoplasms. To examine the role of these 3 genes in lung carcinogenesis, somatic mutations within the genes were analyzed by single-strand conformation polymorphism and DNA sequencing in 7 I non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) samples. Six somatic mutations in the pl6INK4 gene and 3 cases with a polymorphic allele were observed. Loss of heterozygosity in the p I8 gene was found in I sample. We did not find any intragenic mutations in the p15"K4B or p18 genes. We conclude that p16INK4 mutations play a role in the formation of some NSCLCs, whereas the involvement of ~1 5 " ~~~ and p18 is uncommon. o 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. * PIS' N z 48 and p16INK4 are located at 9p2 I, a chromosomal region 6To whom correspondence and reprint requests should be sent, at Bldg. 37, Rm.

## Background: It has been suggested that cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (cdkis), including p16 and p15, are tumor suppressor genes. alterations of cdkis have been found in most types of cancer. however, little is known about the status of p16 and p15 genes, including methylation of the promote
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
