Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck
0.500 PosttranslationalModification disease BEFREE Our study indicates that: (1) inactivation of p16 protein is frequent in HNSCC cell lines (6/11, 54.5%) and OSCC primary tumors (15/17, 88.2%), (2) inactivation of p16INK4a protein is commonly associated with the presence of gene alteration such as mutation, homozygous deletion and especially aberrant methylation, and (3) genomic sequencing of bisulfite-modified DNA shows that the carcinoma develops a heterogeneous pattern of hypermethylation. 11101148 2000
