Abstract excerpt
Inactivation of p16(INK4a) in the Rb pathway is among the most common somatic alterations observed in nonsmall cell lung cancers (NSCLCs). While epigenetic inactivation of the p16(INK4a) gene promoter has been shown to be associated with increased tobacco carcinogen exposure, little investigation of any similar association of homozygous deletion or mutation of p16(INK4a) and tobacco use has been completed. In 177...
