Hypermethylation of the p15INK4B Gene in Myelodysplastic Syndromes
15 Aug 1997
Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have shown that the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor (CDKI) genes p15INK4B and p16INK4A are frequently inactivated by genetic alterations in many malignant tumors and that they are candidate tumor-suppressor genes. Although genetic alterations in these genes may be limited to lymphoid malignancies, it has been reported that their inactivation by aberrant methylation of 5' CpG islands may be...
