Abstract excerpt
Deletions of chromosomal region 9p21 are among the most common genetic alterations observed during the clonal evolution of high grade malignant gliomas. Structural and functional evidence has suggested that homozygous deletion involving CDKN2A (the genetic locus encoding the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p16(NK4a)) is a mechanism of inactivation of this gene and that it can be a growth suppressor in human...
