Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The p16 gene (CDKN2), a tumor suppressor gene located on chromosome 9p21, has been demonstrated to be mutated or deleted with high frequency in a variety of tumor cell lines, including breast. While previous studies have not demonstrated CDKN2 mutations in primary breast carcinomas, it is possible that gene deletion in neoplastic DNA was marked by the presence of contaminating normal stromal DNA in...
