Abstract excerpt
Four cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors called p15, p16, p21 and p27 have been identified in mammals. Because these proteins participate in the control of cell cycle, they are potential targets for somatic mutations during carcinogenesis. In order to document the prevalence of p15 and p16 alterations in gliomas, we looked for loss of heterozygosity of chromosome 9p where these genes are localized. Allelic losses...
