Abstract excerpt
Germline TP53 pathogenic variants can lead to a cancer susceptibility syndrome known as Li-Fraumeni (LFS). Variants affecting its activity can drive tumorigenesis altering p53 pathways and their identification is crucial for assessing individual risk. This study explored the functional impact of TP53 missense variants on its transcription factor activity. We selected seven TP53 missense variants (c.129G > C,...
