The different types of TP53 mutations, missense and nonmissense (nonsense, frameshift mutation and in-frame mutation) did not influence disease-free survival. TP53 mutations disrupting the loop 2 and loop 3 domains of the protein have been shown to predict poor survival in breast cancer (Borresen...
