Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is recognized to be a component tumor of the Li Fraumeni Syndrome (LFS), a familial cancer predisposition resulting from germline mutations in the p53 tumor-suppressor. p53 activity is tightly regulated by multiple post-translational mechanisms, disruption of which may lead to tumorigenesis. ACC is present in disproportionately high rates among p53-mutation carriers, suggesting...
