Identification of the TP53 p.R337H Variant in Tumor Genomic Profiling Should Prompt Consideration of Germline Testing for Li-Fraumeni Syndrome

PURPOSELi-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is rare in the worldwide population, but it is highly prevalent in the Brazilian population because of a founder mutation, TP53 p.R337H, accounting for 0.3% of south and southeastern population. Clinical criteria for LFS may not identify all individuals at risk of c...

description PURPOSELi-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is rare in the worldwide population, but it is highly prevalent in the Brazilian population because of a founder mutation, TP53 p.R337H, accounting for 0.3% of south and southeastern population. Clinical criteria for LFS may not identify all individuals at risk of carrying the Brazilian founder mutation because of its lower penetrance and variable expressivity. This variant is rarely described in databases of somatic mutations. Somatic findings in tumor molecular profiling may give insight to identify individuals who might be carriers of LFS and allow the adoption of risk reduction strategies for cancer.MATERIALS AND METHODSWe determined the frequency of the TP53 p.R337H variant in tumor genomic profiling from 755 consecutive Brazilian patients with pan-cancer. This is a retrospective cohort from January 2013 to March 2020 at a tertiary care center in Brazil.RESULTSThe TP53 p.R337H variant was found in 2% (15 of 755) of the samples. The mutation allele frequency ranged from 30% to 91.7%. A total of seven patients were referred for genetic counseling and germline testing after tumor genomic profiling results were disclosed. All the patients who proceeded with germline testing (6 of 6) confirmed the diagnosis of LFS. Family history was available in 12 cases. Nine patients (9 of 12) did not meet LFS clinical criteria.CONCLUSIONThe identification of the TP53 p.R337H variant in tumor genomic profiling should be a predictive finding of LFS in the Brazilian population and should prompt testing for germline status confirmation.
