Abstract excerpt
The p16 gene has been identified as a candidate tumour suppressor gene at 9p21, a region commonly deleted in bladder cancer. We screened 140 bladder tumours and 16 cell lines for deletions and sequence variants of p16. Eight cell lines showed homozygous deletion of p16 and two had small sequence...
