CDKN2A (p16INK4A/MTS1) and CDKN2B (p15INK4B/MTS2) have recently been shown to be potent inhibitors of the cyclin D/cyclin-dependent kinase-4 complex. Both genes are candidates for the putative tumour suppressor genes located at chromosome 9p21 and are frequently inactivated in many human cancers through homozygous deletion. More recently, another reported pathway of inactivation involves loss of transcription...
