Abstract excerpt
The INK4A and INK4B genes map to 9p21, with the INK4A gene encoding two products, p16 and p19ARF. Many neoplasms in which INK4A and INK4B genes are altered show deletions involving both genes. Mice carrying a targeted Ink4a deletion develop tumors at an early age. In the present study we examined the genetic alterations affecting the remaining Ink4a allele and the Ink4b gene in tumors arising in heterozygous...
