The role of CDKN2A/B deletions in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia
16 Nov 2016
Abstract excerpt
The CDKN2A/B genes in the 9p21 chromosomal region are frequently involved in human cancer, including pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). These genes encode 3 proteins that belong to the RB1 and TP53 pathways and act as tumor suppressors by regulating the G1/S checkpoint of the cell cycle.
