Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is one of the most common hereditary cancer predisposition syndromes in Brazil. The high frequency of the syndrome is due to a founding variant (R337H) in the country. LFS is characterized by a wide variety of malignant phenotypes.

Pathogenic TP53 germline variants cause young-onset breast cancer and other cancers of the Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) spectrum, but the clinical consequences of partial-loss-of function TP53 variants are incompletely understood. In the consecutive cohort of Palestinian breast cancer patients of the Middle East Breast Cancer Study (MEBCS), breast cancer risk among TP53 p. R181C heterozygotes was 50% by age 50 y and 81% by age 80 y.

Malignant tumors are closely related to various genetic and environmental factors. Pathogenic germline gene mutations play a key role in the occurrence and development of some malignant tumors. Some germline mutations can increase the risk of malignant tumors.

Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is a hereditary cancer predisposition syndrome associated with a highly penetrant cancer spectrum characterized by germline TP53 mutations. We characterized the first LFS zebrafish hotspot mutants, tp53 R217H and R242H (human R248H and R273H), and found these mutants exhibit partial-to-no activation of p53 target genes, have defective cell-cycle checkpoints, and display partial-to-full resistance to apoptosis, although the R217H mutation has hypomorphic characteristics. Spontaneous tumor development histologically resembling human sarcomas was observed as early as 6 months.

Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is a heterogeneous predisposition to an individually variable spectrum of cancers caused by pathogenic germline variants. We used a clustering method to assign TP53 missense variants to classes based on their functional activities in experimental assays assessing biological p53 functions. Correlations with LFS phenotypes were analyzed using the public germline mutation database and validated in three LFS clinical cohorts.
