Detection of CDKN2 deletions in tumor cell lines and primary glioma by interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization

Deletions of chromosomal band 9p21 have been detected in various tumor types including melanoma, glioma, lung cancer, mesothelioma, and bladder cancer. Recently, the CDKN2 gene (p16INK4A, MTS I, CDK41) has been proposed as a candidate tumor suppressor gene because it is frequently deleted in cell li...
