Orderable Test Description
p57 (Kip 2, CDKN 1C) is an inhibitor of several G1 cyclin complexes and is a negative regulator of cell proliferation. The gene encoding human p57 is located on chromosome 11p15.5, a region implicated in both sporadic cancers, Wilm's tumor, and Beckwith Wiedemann syndrome (BWS, a cancer syndrome) making it a tumor suppressor candidate. p57 is useful in differentiating between complete hydatidiform mole (no nuclear p57 expression) and partial hydatidiform mole or spontaneous abortion (normal expression).
