A Combination of MTAP and p16 Immunohistochemistry Can Substitute for CDKN2A Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization in Diagnosis and Prognosis of Pleural Mesotheliomas

Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT.—: Homozygous deletion (HD) of CDKN2A is one of the most frequent genetic abnormalities in pleural mesotheliomas. HD of CDKN2A by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is a reliable marker of malignancy in mesothelial proliferations; however, evaluation of CDKN2A deletion requires FISH. The 9p21 locus includes both CDKN2A and MTAP (methylthioadenosine phosphorylase); the latter is frequently codeleted...
