CDK4 gene amplification in osteosarcoma: Reciprocal relationship withINK4A gene alterations and mapping of 12q13 amplicons
18 Jan 1999
Abstract excerpt
The INK4A gene, localized to human chromosome 9p21, encodes p16INK4A, a tumor suppressor that functions at least in part through the inhibition of CDK4, a cyclin-dependent kinase encoded by a gene at 12q13. To examine INK4A gene alterations in uncultured samples of osteosarcoma and the relationship between INK4A and CDK4 alterations, we analyzed the INK4A and CDK4 genes in 87 specimens from 79 patients. INK4A...
