Abstract excerpt
The CDKN2A gene (p16/MTS1) is a tumor suppressor that is frequently deleted, mutated, or inactivated by transcriptional silencing in certain tumor types and many tumor cell lines. We analyzed CDKN2A gene mutations and the frequency of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at the CDKN2A locus in 135 soft tissue sarcomas. PCR-SSCP analysis of exons 1 and 2 of CDKN2A gene revealed only one missense mutation in codon 15 in a...
