Categorical variables are compared using Pearson χ2 test or Fisher's exact test. Continuous variables between patient groups are compared using the Mann-Whitney U test.

n/a, not applicable; TAD, transactivation domain; wt, wild-type.

*

Comparison between p53high and p53truncated.

Comparison between p53mutant (p53high+p53truncated) vs p53wt.

Includes AML arising after antecedent hematologic neoplasm and t-AML.

Boldface highlights significant P values.
