Case Report: Identification of a Novel Pathogenic Germline TP53 Variant in a Family With Li-Fraumeni Syndrome.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is an inherited autosomal dominant disease characterized by a predisposition to many cancers. Germline pathogenic variants in TP53 are primarily responsible for LFS. By performing a targeted sequencing panel in a proband with liver carcinoma having a deceased son affected by osteosarcoma, we found the novel heterozygous frameshift variant c.645del (p.Ser215Argfs*32) in the TP53 gene. This variant co-segregated with typical LFS cancers in the family pedigree, consistent with the pathogenicity of this novel and previously undescribed TP53 variant.
