Abstract excerpt
CDKN2A gene belongs to the genes involved in cell cycle regulation. When is absent or inactivated by mutation or promoter hypermethylation a cell may undertake an uncontrolled proliferation. Inactivation of CDKN2A gene is observed in many human malignancies, including larynx cancer. In this study we investigated mutations in exon 1 and exon 2 of CDKN2A gene in a large group of 390 laryngeal cancers. We found 40...
