*Difference in abundances of eight immune and two stromal cell populations between TP53 wild-type and mutated tumours (positive values indicate higher infiltration in wild type), measured based on gene expression (Microenvironment Cell Populations-counter algorithm).
†Independent samples t-test. P values have been adjusted for multiple hypotheses testing according to Bonferroni (multiplied by 40), and adjusted p values <0.05 are highlighted in bold.
