Abstract excerpt
Familial and metachronous aggregations of malignant lymphoma are well-documented, but the molecular basis of a predisposition for development of lymphoma is as yet unclear. Malignant lymphomas have been described as part of the spectrum of neoplasias in Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS), which is associated with constitutional mutations of p53. However, p53 germline mutations have also, albeit less frequently, been...
