Li-Fraumeni Syndrome: An In-depth Overview
View through CrossRef
Introduction to Li-Fraumeni Syndrome Li-Fraumeni Syndrome (LFS) is a rare, inherited disorder that significantly increases the risk of developing several types of cancer, often at a young age. First identified by Drs. Frederick Li and Joseph Fraumeni in 1969, LFS is caused by mutations in the TP53 gene, which encodes a protein crucial for regulating cell division and preventing tumor formation. When this gene is mutated, its tumor-suppressing function is compromised, leading to a predisposition for various cancers.
