## Abstract Breast cancer occurs rarely in men and risk factors for the disease include germline mutations of the __BRCA2__ gene. High frequency of allelic loss at the __BRCA2__ locus has been reported in sporadic breast tumors, but somatic mutations of __BRCA2__ are very rare. Here we report the f
The cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) is a key component in regulation of the mammalian cell cycle. The recent discovery of a common missense mutation (Arg24Cys) in both sporadic and familial forms of malignant melanoma strongly supports the candidacy of CDK4 as a proto-oncogene. To study further the
