Abstract excerpt
The cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2 (CDKN2) gene on chromosome 9p21 is potentially involved in the genesis of many cancers and is currently under intense investigation as a possible melanoma susceptibility locus. We have analyzed 18 Australian melanoma kindreds for mutations within the coding...
