Abstract
Mutant p53 proteins are often highly expressed in human cancers and have been thought to have oncogenic driver gain-of-function (GOF) properties. Wang and colleagues show, surprisingly, that this is not the case because removing the TP53-mutant gene from human and mouse cancer cells using CRISPR technology has no effect on cancer cell growth in vitro or in vivo. See related article by Wang et al., p. 362 (10) .
