Abstract excerpt
The genes CDKN2B (MTS2) and CDKN2 (MTS1) encoding the proteins p15 and p16 are both located on chromosomal band 9p21, a locus at which frequent homozygous and heterozygous deletions occur in many primary human tumors, including esophageal carcinoma. CDKN2 and CDKN2B belong to a family of cyclin-dependent kinase 4 inhibitors (INK41) and control cell proliferation during the G1 phase of the cell cycle. Their...
