Loss of wild-type p53 promotes mutant p53-driven metastasis through acquisition of survival and tumor-initiating properties

Both gain-of-function of mutant p53 (GOF) and loss of wild-type p53 (LOH) are independently associated with cancer. Here, the authors show that LOH promotes GOF tumourigenesis by increasing tumor-initiating ability and metastasis.
