Tumor suppressor p16 methylation in multiple myeloma: biological and clinical implications

Abstract excerpt

The biological and clinical implications of p16 gene methylation in multiple myeloma (MM) are still unclear despite previous studies. In this comprehensive study, using methylation-specific PCR (MS-PCR), we show that p16 methylation is relatively common and occurs in monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS; n=17), smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM; n=40), and MM (n=522) at a prevalence of 24%,...
