Abstract excerpt
The tumor suppressor gene, CDKN2A (p16), encodes a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor and functions as a negative regulator in the retinoblastoma pathway that blocks cell cycle progression from the G1 phase. The gene has been found to be deleted, truncated, mutated, or silenced by promoter methylation in a wide range of tumor types. Where melanoma CDKN2A mutations have been characterized, C --> T and CC --> TT...
