Comparison of TP53 mutations in myelodysplasia and acute leukemia suggests divergent roles in initiation and progression

Abstract excerpt

TP53 mutation predicts adverse prognosis in many cancers, including myeloid neoplasms, but the mechanisms by which specific mutations impact disease biology, and whether they differ between disease categories, remain unknown. We analyzed TP53 mutations in four myeloid neoplasm subtypes (MDS, AML, AML with myelodysplasia-related changes (AML-MRC), and therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (tAML)), and identified...
