Abstract excerpt
The role of the CDKN2A (p16INK4a) gene in sporadic primary melanomas has remained unclear due to the inadequate number of mutational studies. In the present study, we analyzed the entire coding region of the CDKN2A gene in microdissected sporadic primary melanomas, for the presence of mutations and polymorphisms, using 2 independent methods of mutation detection, SSCP and CMC. We found 11 intragenic mutations in...
