CDKN2D

CDKN2D is a gene in our body that makes a protein called p19, which helps to regulate cell growth and division. Think of it like a traffic light - it tells our cells when it's time to stop and when it's safe to go. When there is a problem with CDKN2D, it's like the traffic light is broken and our cells might keep growing and dividing, causing problems like cancer. Scientists study CDKN2D because they want to understand how it works and how to fix it if it's not working correctly.
