Abstract excerpt
Little is known about alterations of cyclin dependent kinase inhibitors p15INK4B, p16INK4A and of MDM2 inhibitor p14ARF due to single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located within the CDKN2A/B genes and/or neighbouring loci. In order to investigate the potential involvement of such common DNA sequence variants in leukemia susceptibility, an association study was performed by genotyping 23 SNPs spanning the MTAP,...
