Low Frequency of p16INK4a Alterations in Insulinomas
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: The molecular mechanisms contributing to the tumorigenesis of insulinomas are poorly understood. Disruption of the cell cycle due to inactivation of the p16(INK4a) tumor-suppressor gene was identified in a variety of human tumors, including gastrinomas and nonfunctioning endocrine pancreatic carcinomas. In this study the role of p16(INK4a) in the tumorigenesis of insulinomas was evaluated....
