PURPOSE: Inactivation of TP53, which occurs predominantly by missense mutations in exons 4-9, is a major genetic alteration in a subset of human cancer. In spite of growing evidence that gain-of-function (GOF) mutations of p53 also have oncogenic activity, little is known about the clinical relevance of these mutations. METHODS: The clinicopathological features of high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGS-OvCa)...
