Germline TP53 mutations undergo copy number gain years prior to tumor diagnosis

Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is associated with pathogenic germline TP53 variants and predisposes patients to cancer; understanding the evolution and drivers of LFS-related tumours remains crucial. Here, the authors analyse 22 LFS tumours using whole-genome sequencing and reconstruct the evolution and...
