Abstract excerpt
The p16INK4A and p15INK4B genes on chromosome 9p21 encode the p16 and p15 inhibitors of cyclin D/cyclin-dependent kinase 4 complexes respectively. Mutations and deletions of the p16INK4A gene have been found in melanomas and many other types of tumors. To assess the role of the p16INK4A and p15NK...
