Abstract excerpt
Two cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors, p18(Ink4c) and p27(Kip1), are required for proper cerebellar development. Loss of either of these proteins conferred a proliferative advantage to granule neuron progenitors, although inactivation of Kip1 exerted a greater effect. Mice heterozygous for Patched-1 (Ptc1+/-) that are either heterozygous or nullizygous for Kip1 developed medulloblastoma rapidly and with high...
