We have examined the roles of 2 putative tumor-suppressor genes, the p16 and p15 inhibitor-of-cyclin-dependentkinase genes, in the most commonly occurring epithelial tumors of the human ovary. Expression of p16 mRNA, examined by RT-PCR, was significantly reduced in 15 of the 48 tumors. Aberrant expr
The role of p16 and p53 alterations in cutaneous melanoma has been recently discussed, but it remains to be clarified. In the present immunohistochemical study, the expression of p16 and p53 proteins and their possible prognostic relevance have been examined in 102 melanomas of the aggressive nodula
## Background: In prostate carcinoma, a very low frequency of point mutations of the tumor suppressor gene cdkn2/mts1 (p16(ink4) ) has been reported, but deletions of 9p21 and inactivation by promoter methylation are observed more frequently. in the current study the authors evaluated the expressio
