Implications of Genetic and Epigenetic Alterations of CDKN2A (p16INK4a) in Cancer

Aberrant gene silencing is highly associated with altered cell cycle regulation during carcinogenesis. In particular, silencing of the CDKN2A tumor suppressor gene, which encodes the p16INK4a protein, has a causal link with several different types of cancers. The p16INK4a protein plays an executiona...
