BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: The combined contributions of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes toward carcinogenesis remain poorly understood. Elucidation of cancer gene cooperativity can provide new insights leading to more effective use of therapies. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN/METHODS: We used somatic cell genome editing to introduce singly and in combination PIK3CA mutations (E545K or H1047R) with TP53 alterations (R248W or...
