Abstract excerpt
Li-Fraumeni Syndrome (LFS) is an autosomal dominant disorder where an oncogenic TP53 germline mutation is inherited by offspring of a carrier parent. p53 is a key tumor suppressor regulating cell cycle arrest in response to DNA damage. Unexpectedly, some mutant TP53 carriers remain unaffected, while their children develop cancer early in life. To begin unravelling this paradox, the response of dermal fibroblasts...
