Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Abnormalities involving the p16 (also known as cyclin-dependent kinase N2 [CDKN2], p16 [INK4a], or MTS1) and p53 (also known as TP53) tumor suppressor genes are highly prevalent in esophageal adenocarcinomas. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at 9p21 and 17p13 chromosomes (locations for p16 and p53 genes, respectively) is frequently observed in the premalignant condition, Barrett's esophagus. We studied...
