Abstract excerpt
A number of hereditary syndromes have been found to be associated with pheochromocytoma development, but there is a paucity of data regarding secondary molecular events, such as downregulation of the p16INK4A/Cdkn2a gene (hereafter p16), contributing to pheochromocytoma tumorigenesis. Using tissue microarray and immunohistochemistry, we evaluated the expression of p16 in 31 pheochromocytoma tumor specimens. Our...
