Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2B (CDKN2B, also known as p15) is a gene that encodes a protein that binds to CDK4 or CDK6 and inhibits their activation. Missense and silent mutations are observed in cancers such as intestinal cancer, kidney cancer, and cancers of the urinary tract.

CDKN2B is altered in 7.43% of all cancers with conventional glioblastoma multiforme, lung adenocarcinoma, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, glioblastoma, and bladder urothelial carcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
