✦ Synopsis

A detailed analysis of p53 (TP53) mutations involving the 42 CpG dinucleotides was performed to gain greater insight into the mutational mechanism leading to specific selection of these mutations. Although the majority of these CpG dinucleotides have been found to be mutated in cancer cells, the heterogeneous frequency of mutational events suggests that some mutations are not true mutations, but neutral changes that have been co-selected during oncogenic transformation. Among the 1,400 variants found in the 15,000 mutations of the p53 database, 5% have only been described once, indicating that either the mutational event is rare, or the mutation phenotype is very mild, or both. Overall, these data indicate that great caution is required when analyzing the significance of p53 mutations.

Inactivation of the wild-type p53 gene (TP53) by various genetic alterations is a major event in human tumorigenesis. More than 60% of human primary tumors exhibit a mutation in the p53 gene. Hematological malignancies present a rather low incidence of genetic alterations in this gene (10-20%). Neve

## Abstract Some studies have reported that __p53__ mutations or certain types of __p53__ mutation are associated with poor prognosis in colon cancer, while other studies have failed to show such a relationship. None of these previous studies was population‐based. We therefore evaluated the prognos
