Abstract excerpt
Hemizygous deletions in genomic DNA appear to play an important role in tumorigenesis. The loss or inactivation of tumour suppressor genes (TSGs) is of critical importance in most malignancies, and has been shown to affect response to therapy. Here, we report a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) designed to detect two TSGs at the CDKN2A locus, p16(INK4A) and p14(ARF) that allows the detection...
