Loss of expression of thep16INK4/CDKN2 gene in cutaneous malignant melanoma correlates with tumor cell proliferation and invasive stage
20 Jun 1997
Abstract excerpt
The G1/S checkpoint of the cell cycle is regulated by p16, p53 and RB tumor suppressor genes. Loss of expression of the p16INK4 tumor suppressor protein, the product of the CDKN2 gene, has been associated with a wide variety of human malignancies. Mutations, loss of heterozygosity and deletions of the CDKN2 locus have been reported in sporadic and familial cutaneous malignant melanomas (CMM). To investigate the...
