## 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
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
