1 Plutonium targets the p16 gene for inactivation by promoter hypermethylation in human lung adenocarcinoma. Plutonium cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2A Homo sapiens
2 Stratification of plutonium exposure into tertiles also revealed a striking dose response for methylation of the p16 gene (P = 0.008). Plutonium cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2A Homo sapiens
3 Here we demonstrate that exposure to plutonium may elevate the risk for adenocarcinoma through specifically targeting the p16 gene for inactivation by promoter methylation. Plutonium cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2A Homo sapiens
