INK4A, also known as p16, is a tumor suppressor gene and is found to have hypermethylated promoter regions in 10- 20% of melanoma cells and is involved in 40- 87% of gene alterations in melanoma cases (Gonzalgo et al., 1997). This means that 10- 20% of the time there is an epigenetic change in the INK4A gene, and 40- 87% of the time there is a ...
