Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations in the tumor suppressor p53 are among the most frequent events in human cancers. Mutant p53 acquires oncogenic activities beyond the loss of tumor suppressive function. However, how different mutation subtypes differ in their contributions to tumorigenesis remains incompletely understood. RESULTS: Through pan-cancer TCGA analysis, we find that patients with p53 DNA contact mutations exhibit...
