Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is a rare cancer predisposition syndrome, typically associated with germline mutations in the TP53 gene. Despite the high penetrance of TP53 mutations, LFS patients display striking phenotypic differences, suggesting the presence of secondary risk loci. To date, all genetic modifiers in LFS have been shown to map to either TP53 or its principal negative regulator, MDM2. Given this...
