Abstract excerpt
Among tumor suppressor genes, p15(INK4b) gene is gaining more attention for its important role in the progression of myelodyplastic syndrome (MDS). Serial studies demonstrated that highly frequent hypermethylation of p15(INK4b) gene, which is located at the 5'CpG island in the promoter region of exon 1 and is the main reason of inactivation of p15(INK4b) gene, occurs during the development of MDS towards AML.
