Sixty-eight primary head and neck squamous cell carcinomas and nine head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cell lines were examined for mutations and homozygous deletions of the p16/CDKN2 gene. Homozygous deletions of the p16/CDKN2 gene were found in three lines, and a mutation was detected in ano...
