Abstract

Human melanoma cell lines and tumor tissue from familial and sporadic melanomas have frequent, nonrandom chromosomal breaks and deletions on chromosome 9p21, a region that includes the tumor suppressor gene CDKN2A/p16INK4A. Germ-line mutations within this gene have been observed in some familial melanoma kindreds, but somatic mutation in sporadic primary melanoma is infrequent. Thirty-nine archival, paraffin-embedded, sporadic, primary cutaneous malignant melanomas (20 >3-mm-thick and 19
