Abstract excerpt
The p53 tumor suppressor, encoded by the TP53 gene, serves as a major barrier against malignant transformation. Patients with Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) inherit a mutated TP53 allele from one parent and a wild-type TP53 allele from the other. Subsequently, the wild-type allele is lost and only the mutant TP53 allele remains. This process, which is termed loss of heterozygosity (LOH), results in only mutant p53...
