Abstract excerpt
The gene encoding the cell-cycle regulatory protein p16, CDKN2, is localized on chromosome band 9p21. CDKN2 is frequently deleted or mutated in a variety of tumor cell lines, including pancreatic cancer cell lines and xenografts, as well as in some primary tumors. We examined 32 primary pancreatic adenocarcinomas for CDKN2 mutations and for loss of heterozygosity of 9p21 sequences to assess the role of CDKN2 in...
