Abstract excerpt
Mutational inactivation of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CDKIs) (p16INK4A/MTS1) tumor suppressor gene has been found in a variety of human tumor types. To investigate the involvement of CDKI abnormality in mesenchymal chondrosarcoma, alterations of CDKIs were examined in human mesenchymal chondrosarcoma tissues using a quantitative DNA/PCR, PCR-SSCP. Seven of 33 specimens (21.2%) showed abnormally low...
