Recently, it has been shown that the homozygous deletion of the cyclin-dependent kinase-4 inhibitor (CDK4I;p16) gene, which is mapped to chromosome 9p21, is frequently observed in a wide spectrum of human cancers, including leukemias. Therefore, the CDK4I gene is thought to be a putative tumor-suppressor gene. We report here that both alleles of the CDK4I gene were completely or partially deleted in human...
