Abstract excerpt
The CDKN2 gene encodes p16, a protein controlling the cell cycle. CDKN2 is deleted in a relevant number of tumor cell lines, but results of the studies in primary tumors are contradictory. We have investigated by using quantitative polymerase chain reaction and single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis the structure of exon 2 of CDKN2 in 32 malignant gliomas. In 11 tumors the amount of amplified material...
