The gene most frequently mutated in human cancers is

  • A.the gene that encodes beta-tubulin
  • B.the gene that encodes telomerase
  • C.TP53, encoding the p53 protein
  • D.the gene that encodes cyclin B

Answer: C

Roughly half of all human tumours carry a mutation in it, which reflects how central the checkpoint it controls is to preventing cancer. Losing it lets damaged cells continue dividing. Restoring p53 function is a long-standing goal of cancer therapy.
