摘要
Tumor-specific, 'signature' mutations of p53 have been identified in several cancers. The molecular basis of these tissue-specific selections has been poorly understood. A recent report sheds light on this issue by identifying the molecular basis of one such signature mutation found in adrenal cortical carcinomas.
