The CDKN2 gene has been recently localized to a chromosomal region found to be deleted in leukemias and solid tumors. CDKN2 encodes a 16 kDa protein product (p16INK4A), which functions as a specific inhibitor or the cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6. There have been many reports indicating a higher frequency of deletions of the CDKN2 gene in a variety of tumor cell lines, in comparison to primary tumors. These...
