Abstract excerpt
Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is an autosomal-dominant cancer predisposition syndrome of which the majority is caused by TP53 germline mutations and is characterised by different tumour types occurring at relatively young age. Recently, it was shown that a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the MDM2 gene, SNP309 (T>G variation), was associated with accelerated tumour formation in LFS patients who carry a TP53...
