Abstract excerpt
The status of CDKN2a gene, coding for p16 and p19ARF proteins, was examined in 55 colorectal cancers. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR), single stranded conformational polymorphism and sequencing revealed 1 case of CDKN2a mutation. Methylation-specific PCR detected p16 locus methylation in 37 (73%) of 51 normal samples and 29 (53%) of 55 cancers (P=0.035). p16 transcript absence (assessed by reverse...
