Abstract excerpt
TP53 is the most extensively studied gene in cancer. However, data on frequency and the prognostic impact of TP53 mutations in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) remain scarce. Thus, we aimed at identifying the mutation frequency of TP53, its association with cytogenetic subgroups, and its impact on survival in a large cohort of 625 patients with ALL. Our data revealed an overall mutation incidence of 15.7%,...
