Definition of the role of chromosome 9p21 in sporadic melanoma through genetic analysis of primary tumours and their metastases
1 Dec 2000
Abstract excerpt
Malignant melanoma (MM) is thought to arise by sequential accumulation of genetic alterations in normal melanocytes. Previous cytogenetic and molecular studies indicated the 9p21 as the chromosomal region involved in MM pathogenesis. In addition to the CDKN genes (p16/CDKN2A, p15/CDKN2B and p19(ARF), frequently inactivated in familial MM), widely reported data suggested the presence within this region of other...
