Abstract excerpt
Alterations of the p16INK4A gene are frequent in various human cancers. We investigated p16INK4A gene status in 20 ovarian carcinomas by PCR (polymerase chain reaction), PCR-SSCP (polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism) and sequencing techniques. None of the primary tumors showed any mutational or deletional events. However, 19 out of 20 tumors displayed both a methylated and an...
