Abstract excerpt
The objective of this study was to investigate the contribution of p16 inactivation in gastric cancer and to compare it with p53. A cohort of 34 primary GCs were analyzed for p16 mutations and transcriptional silencing of the gene due to hypermethylation of the promoter. SSCP analysis and direct...
