Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection
Entry selected based on evidence directly linking the gene product to ageing in a cellular model system
Description

The p15 tumor suppressor (CDKN2B) is located in the same region as p16 (CDKN2A), and is also involved in cell cycle, senescence and cancer. This region is frequently mutated and/or deleted in a wide variety of tumors [2229]. Genetic variants have been identified close to both p15 and p16 in patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease [2230]. Although CDKN2B seems to have a role in cellular senescence and age-related diseases, its implication in broader aspects of ageing is still unknown.
