Abstract excerpt
Forty-six glioblastomas, 16 anaplastic astrocytomas, and 8 astrocytomas were studied for the loss of the CDKN2 (p16/MTS1) gene on 9p. The CDKN2 locus was homozygously deleted in 19 of 46 glioblastomas (41%) and 1 allele was lost in an additional 13 cases (28%). The deleted regions were limited centromerically in some cases by the MTS2 locus and telomerically by the 1063.7 locus. CDKN2 was homozygously deleted in...
