BOSTON, Sept. 17 -- The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute issued the following news release:
The most commonly mutated gene in cancer has tantalized scientists for decades about the message of its mutations. Although mutations can occur at more than 1,100 sites within the TP53 gene, they arise with greatest frequency at a handful of points dubbed "hot spots." Does this imbalance suggest that hotspot mutations are especially conducive to cancer or that they're particularly disa . . .
