<p>Methylation of p16 DNA and a resultant decrease in p16 gene expression is associated with transcriptional block and is associated with a variety of neoplasms. A method for detecting a neoplasm in a subject by detecting methylation of 5'CpG islands in p16 DNA, or detecting p16 mRNA or polypeptide levels in a sample is also provided.</p> |
