Abstract excerpt
The cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors p15INK4b and p16INK4a are involved in the development of a wide range of human and murine tumors. These tumor suppressor genes are inactivated by deletions frequently associated to point mutations in the coding regions or hypermethylation of their promoters. In this work, we describe a simple-sequence length polymorphism located in mouse Chromosome (Chr) 4, between the...
