Abstract excerpt
We analyzed homozygous deletions and mutations of the CDKN2(p16(INK4A)/MTS1) gene, using polymerase chain reaction and Southern blot analysis, in 120 children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Homozygous deletion was found in 17 of 89 (19%) precursor B-ALL patients, in 11 of 24 (46%) T-ALL patients, and in 0 of 7 other phenotype ALL patients. After excluding 28 (23%) patients who showed a homozygous...
