The differential effects of TP53 missense mutations in colorectal cancer (CRC) remain to be explored. Here the authors compare the gain of function impact of two frequent TP53 mutations in CRC and show that p53R273 mutants control a transcriptional program, which drives oncogenic signaling pathways, leading to a more aggressive phenotype and worse patient outcome.
