Rare autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by mesenchymal and epithelial neoplasms at multiple sites. MUTATION of the p53 tumor suppressor gene, a component of the DNA DAMAGE response pathway, apparently predisposes family members who inherit it to develop certain cancers. The spectrum of cancers in the syndrome was shown to include, in addition to BREAST CANCER and soft tissue sarcomas (SARCOMA); BRAIN TUMORS; OSTEOSARCOMA; LEUKEMIA; and ADRENOCORTICAL CARCINOMA.

Radiation-induced G1 arrest is not defective in fibroblasts from Li-Fraumeni families without TP53 mutations. (1/153)

Radiation-induced G1 arrest was studied in four classes of early passage skin fibroblasts comprising 12 normals, 12 heterozygous (mut/wt) TP53 mutation-carriers, two homozygous (mut/-) TP53 mutation-carriers and 16 strains from nine Li-Fraumeni syndrome or Li-Fraumeni-like families in which no TP53 mutation has been found, despite sequencing of all exons, exon-intron boundaries, 3' and 5' untranslated regions and promoter regions. In an assay of p53 allelic expression in yeast, cDNAs from these non-mutation strains behaved as wild-type p53. Using two different assays, we found G1 arrest was reduced in heterozygous strains with mis-sense mutations and one truncation mutation, when compared to the range established for the normal cells. Heterozygous strains with mutations at splice sites behaved like normal cells, whilst homozygous (mut/-) strains showed either extremely reduced, or no, arrest. Strains from all nine non-mutation families gave responses within the normal range. Exceptions to the previously reported inverse correlation between G1 arrest and clonogenic radiation resistance were observed, indicating that these phenotypes are not strictly interdependent.  (+info)

Exclusion of the genes CDKN2 and PTEN as causative gene defects in Li-Fraumeni syndrome. (2/153)

We have analysed Li-Fraumeni syndrome families, previously shown to be negative for mutations in TP53, for mutations to the tumour suppressor genes PTEN and CDKN2. These genes function in cell cycle progression or are mutated in a variety of tumours. We have detected no mutations in the family members tested.  (+info)

p53 compound heterozygosity in a severely affected child with Li-Fraumeni syndrome. (3/153)

The Li-Fraumeni Syndrome (LFS) is a rare, dominantly inherited syndrome that features high risk of cancers in childhood and early adulthood. Affected families tend to develop bone and soft tissue sarcomas, breast cancers, brain tumors, leukemias, and adrenocortical carcinomas. In some kindreds, the genetic abnormality associated with this cancer phenotype is a heterozygous germline mutation in the p53 tumor suppressor gene. Recently, we identified one patient who presented in early childhood with multiple primary cancers and who harbored three germline p53 alterations (R156H and R267Q on the maternal allele and R290H on the paternal allele). To classify the biologic effects of these alterations, functional properties of each of the p53 mutants were examined using in vitro assays of cellular growth suppression and transcriptional activation. Each amino acid substitution conferred partial or complete loss of wild-type p53 function, but the child completed normal embryonic development. This observation has not been previously reported in a human, but is consistent with observations of normal embryogenesis in p53-deficient mice.  (+info)

Are there low-penetrance TP53 Alleles? evidence from childhood adrenocortical tumors. (4/153)

We have analyzed a panel of 14 cases of childhood adrenocortical tumors unselected for family history and have identified germline TP53 mutations in >80%, making this the highest known incidence of a germline mutation in a tumor-suppressor gene in any cancer. The spectrum of germline TP53 mutations detected is remarkably limited. Analysis of tumor tissue for loss of constitutional heterozygosity, with respect to the germline mutant allele and the occurrence of other somatic TP53 mutations, indicates complex sequences of genetic events in a number of tumors. None of the families had cancer histories that conformed to the criteria for Li-Fraumeni syndrome, but, in some families, we were able to demonstrate that the mutation had been inherited. In these families there were gene carriers unaffected in their 40s and 50s, and there were others with relatively late-onset cancers. These data provide evidence that certain TP53 alleles confer relatively low penetrance for predisposition to the development of cancer, and they imply that deleterious TP53 mutations may be more frequent in the population than has been estimated previously. Our findings have considerable implications for the clinical management of children with andrenocortical tumors and their parents, in terms of both genetic testing and the early detection and treatment of tumors.  (+info)

Human cells compromised for p53 function exhibit defective global and transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair, whereas cells compromised for pRb function are defective only in global repair. (5/153)

After exposure to DNA-damaging agents, the p53 tumor suppressor protects against neoplastic transformation by inducing growth arrest and apoptosis. A series of investigations has also demonstrated that, in UV-exposed cells, p53 regulates the removal of DNA photoproducts from the genome overall (global nucleotide excision repair), but does not participate in an overlapping pathway that removes damage specifically from the transcribed strand of active genes (transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair). Here, the highly sensitive ligation-mediated PCR was employed to quantify, at nucleotide resolution, the repair of UVB-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) in genetically p53-deficient Li-Fraumeni skin fibroblasts, as well as in human lung fibroblasts expressing the human papillomavirus (HPV) E6 oncoprotein that functionally inactivates p53. Lung fibroblasts expressing the HPV E7 gene product, which similarly inactivates the retinoblastoma tumor-suppressor protein (pRb), were also investigated. pRb acts downstream of p53 to mediate G(1) arrest, but has no demonstrated role in DNA repair. Relative to normal cells, HPV E6-expressing lung fibroblasts and Li-Fraumeni skin fibroblasts each manifested defective CPD repair along both the transcribed and nontranscribed strands of the p53 and/or c-jun loci. HPV E7-expressing lung fibroblasts also exhibited reduced CPD removal, but only along the nontranscribed strand. Our results provide striking evidence that transcription-coupled repair, in addition to global repair, are p53-dependent in UV-exposed human fibroblasts. Moreover, the observed DNA-repair defect in HPV E7-expressing cells reveals a function for this oncoprotein in HPV-mediated carcinogenesis, and may suggest a role for pRb in global nucleotide excision repair.  (+info)

Heterozygous germ line hCHK2 mutations in Li-Fraumeni syndrome. (6/153)

The hCHK2 gene encodes the human homolog of the yeast Cds1 and Rad53 G2 checkpoint kinases, whose activation in response to DNA damage prevents cellular entry into mitosis. Here, it is shown that heterozygous germ line mutations in hCHK2 occur in Li-Fraumeni syndrome, a highly penetrant familial cancer phenotype usually associated with inherited mutations in the TP53 gene. These observations suggest that hCHK2 is a tumor suppressor gene conferring predisposition to sarcoma, breast cancer, and brain tumors, and they also provide a link between the central role of p53 inactivation in human cancer and the well-defined G2 checkpoint in yeast.  (+info)

Elevated frequency and functional activity of a specific germ-line p53 intron mutation in familial breast cancer. (7/153)

Previous studies have determined that the frequency of germ-line p53 mutations in familial breast cancer patients is 1% or less, but these reports have not investigated the importance of polymorphic intron base changes in the p53 gene. Therefore, we investigated the frequency of both exon and intron germ-line p53 base changes in 42 breast cancer patients with a strong family history of breast cancer. The mean age of presentation of these patients was 44.0 years (range, 29-69), and 12 of 42 (29%) were of known Ashkenazi ancestry. Purified DNA obtained from the 42 index cases was screened for germ-line p53 mutations in exons 2-11 and surrounding introns using a combination of intron based primers for PCR-single strand conformation polymorphism analysis, direct sequencing, and microarray sequencing using the Affymetrix p53 gene chip methodology. Morphological analysis of apoptosis and cell survival determination were performed on EBV-immortalized lymphoblastoid cell lines from two patients with the p53 intron 6 mutation. A germ-line mutation in the p53 gene at nucleotide 13964 with a G to C base change (13964GC) was identified in 3 of 42 (7.1%) hereditary breast cancer patients. Two patients were heterozygous for this mutation, and one patient had a homozygous mutation. In comparison, 0 of 171 (0%) of sporadic breast cancer patients had the p53 13964GC mutation (P = 0.0003). We found that 0 of 42 (0%) of these hereditary breast cancer patients had other germ-line p53 mutation in exons 2-11. However, pedigree analysis demonstrated that all three patients had strong family histories of multiple types of cancers consistent with Li-Fraumeni syndrome but with late age of onset. Comprehensive BRCA1 and BRCA2 nucleotide analysis from patients with the p53 13964GC mutation revealed no concomitant deleterious BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations, although they were found in the other hereditary breast cancer patients. Functional analysis of two immortalized lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from patients with the p53 13964GC mutation demonstrated prolonged in vitro survival in response to cisplatinum treatment and showed decreased chemotherapy-induced apoptosis. Immunohistochemical analysis of breast tumors from these patients revealed high levels of mutant p53 protein, suggesting a functional mutation in the p53 gene. In summary, we have identified a single p53 intron mutation in familial breast cancer patients that is present at elevated frequency and has functional activity.  (+info)

Genomic alterations associated with loss of heterozygosity for TP53 in Li-Fraumeni syndrome fibroblasts. (8/153)

Studies of Li-Fraumeni syndrome fibroblasts heterozygous for germline TP53 mutations have shown that loss of heterozygosity (LOH) occurs during passaging and is associated with genomic instability, such as chromosomal aberrations and aneuploidy to investigate the genomic changes associated with LOH in Li-Fraumeni (LF) fibroblasts, we have analysed cell strains at increasing population doublings (PD) using Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH). We have looked at three groups of cell strains: LF mutation-carrying strains which showed LOH for TP53, LF mutation-carrying strains which did not show LOH, and strains from normal individuals. Using CGH, we have detected loss of distinct chromosomal regions associated with LOH in 4 out of 5 mutation-carrying strains. In particular we have found loss of chromosomal regions containing genes involved in cell cycle control or senescence, including loss of 9p and 17p in these strains. Other recurrent changes included loss of chromosomes 4q and 6q, regions shown to contain one or more tumour suppressor genes. No genomic alterations were detected at cumulative PD in the normal strains or in the LF mutation-carrying strains which did not show LOH for TP53. We have also analysed the three groups of strains for microsatellite instability and somatic TP53 mutations, and have found genetic alterations in only one strain.  (+info)

Li-Fraumeni Syndrome (LFS) is a rare, hereditary cancer predisposition syndrome. It is characterized by a high risk of developing multiple types of cancers throughout an individual's lifetime. The condition is caused by mutations in the TP53 gene, which plays a crucial role in suppressing tumor growth and maintaining genomic stability.

Individuals with Li-Fraumeni Syndrome have an increased risk of developing various malignancies, including:

1. Sarcomas (soft tissue and bone cancers) - most commonly occurring before the age of 45
2. Breast cancer - often diagnosed at a younger age than sporadic cases
3. Leukemias (blood cancers)
4. Brain tumors, particularly gliomas and medulloblastomas
5. Adrenocortical carcinoma (a rare type of cancer affecting the adrenal glands)
6. Other cancers such as lung, melanoma, and gastrointestinal malignancies

Li-Fraumeni Syndrome is typically inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, meaning that a person has a 50% chance of inheriting the mutated gene from an affected parent. However, de novo (new) mutations can also occur, resulting in individuals with LFS who do not have a family history of the condition.

Due to the high risk of cancer development, individuals with Li-Fraumeni Syndrome require close surveillance and early intervention strategies to manage their cancer risk effectively. Regular screenings, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computerized tomography (CT) scans, and mammograms, are often recommended for early detection and treatment of potential malignancies.

A syndrome, in medical terms, is a set of symptoms that collectively indicate or characterize a disease, disorder, or underlying pathological process. It's essentially a collection of signs and/or symptoms that frequently occur together and can suggest a particular cause or condition, even though the exact physiological mechanisms might not be fully understood.

For example, Down syndrome is characterized by specific physical features, cognitive delays, and other developmental issues resulting from an extra copy of chromosome 21. Similarly, metabolic syndromes like diabetes mellitus type 2 involve a group of risk factors such as obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels that collectively increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

It's important to note that a syndrome is not a specific diagnosis; rather, it's a pattern of symptoms that can help guide further diagnostic evaluation and management.
