Abstract excerpt
We examined the genomic status of the p16INK4A (inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase 4 A) and cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) genes in 62 human hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs), 5 cholangiocellular carcinomas and 6 cell lines derived from human liver cancers. Although no samples showed the homozygous deletion of the p16INK4A gene, we detected intragenic mutations of the p16INK4A gene in 3 HCCs and one HCC cell...
