Analysis of germline p53 mutations in breast cancer reveals that the Li-Fraumeni and Li-Fraumeni-like syndromes are mostly related to the loss of initiation codon 133 of regulatory TP53 isoforms (Delta133p53). In eight codons of exons 5-8 (including 133), mutations are frequent in Li-Fraumeni-related, but scarce in sporadic breast cancer, while in six more codons they are frequent both in familial and sporadic...
