Abstract excerpt
Homozygous chromosome 9p deletions in gliomas commonly include the CDKN2A and CDKN2B genes, which code for the structurally highly homologous cdk inhibitors/tumor suppressors p16 and p15, respectively. Alternative splicing of the CDKN2A gene results in the expression of p14(ARF). Interestingly, not only p16 and p15, but also the structurally unrelated p14(ARF) appear to function as negative cell cycle regulators....
