CDKN2B cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2B

ENSG00000147883 · protein coding · Open Targets profile

Interacts strongly with CDK4 and CDK6. Potent inhibitor. Potential effector of TGF-beta induced cell cycle arrest.

In 15 of 15 cancers, the evidence for CDKN2B comes mainly from inherited variants

Each row is a cancer, strongest overall evidence first. The two dots show how strong the inherited (germline) and tumour-mutation (somatic) evidence is; the line between them is the gap.

Scores run from 0 (no evidence) to 1 (strongest). A missing dot at 0 means Open Targets holds no evidence of that kind. Source: Open Targets Platform, fetched live.

Tractability

No positive tractability buckets.

gnomAD loss of function constraint: o/e 1.0384000539779663 (upper bound 1.8736000061035156). Low values mean loss of function is poorly tolerated, a safety flag for inhibition.

Who runs trials of these drugs

No named investigators on registry trials of CDKN2B's approved or late-stage drugs in the last three years.

No terminated, withdrawn or suspended trials of CDKN2B's drugs are registered

All 0 drugs and clinical candidates as a table

Each drug, stage and indication links to its Open Targets record, where the trials and approvals behind it are listed. Salt forms (for example a mesylate) are listed as Open Targets records them, as separate entries.
