Abstract excerpt
High frequency allelic loss of chromosome 9p21 has been reported in a number of human cancers, including those of the esophagus. The CDKN2 gene on chromosome 9p21 that encodes the p16 inhibitor of cyclinD/Cdk4 complexes is a target of allelic loss and inactivation in a variety of human cancers an...
