Hypermethylation of the p16 Gene and Lack of p16 Expression in Hepatoblastoma [PDF]
Hepatoblastoma is the most frequent pediatric liver tumor that develops mostly in young children. Abnormal regulation of cell cycle regulatory genes including p16 has been described, displaying no p16 mRNA and p16 protein in hepatoblastomas. The inactivation of p16, leading to the disruption of cell cycle control is involved in many types of human ...

Epigenetic Changes in Tumor Suppressor Genes, P15, P16, APC-3 and E-cadherin in Body Fluid
The inactivation of tumor suppressor genes by promoter methylation plays an important role in the development of cancers; it can also be used as a marker to distinguish cancerous cells from non-cancer cells.

Methylation status of p16 and p14 genes in locally advanced rectal cancer: Potential clinical implication [PDF]
Methylation of p16 and p14 genes is a common event in colorectal cancers; however, their exact role in the prediction of patients’ outcome is unclear. We conducted this retrospective study to evaluate their potential predictive and/or prognostic roles ...

Prognostic impact of p16 and p53 gene expressions in stage 1a epithelial ovarian cancer [PDF]
Objective Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is rarely detected at stage 1a. Most of the patients have a good prognosis and there are limited factors that affect their survival. In the present study, we evaluated the p16 and p53 gene expressions of stage 1a
