NCIt definition : Human CDKN1C wild-type allele located in the vicinity of 11p15.5 and is approximately
2 kb in length. This allele, which encodes cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1C protein,
plays a negative role in the regulation of cellular proliferation by inhibiting several
G1 cyclin/Cdk complexes. Mutations of the gene, which generates variant alleles have
been implicated in both sporadic cancers and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, suggesting
that it is a tumor suppressor candidate.;
