Descriptor síndrome de Li-Fraumeni
Scope note: Síndrome autosómico dominante raro, caracterizado por neoplasias epiteliales y mesenquimatosas en múltiples localizaciones. Una mutación en el gen supresor de tumores p53, un componente de la vía de respuesta a los DAÑOS DEL ADN, aparentemente predispone, a los miembros de una familia que lo hubieran heredado, a desarrollar determinados tipos de cáncer. El espectro de cánceres en este síndrome se ha demostrado que incluye el CÁNCER DE MAMA y sarcomas de tejidos blandos (SARCOMA), TUMORES DE CEREBRO, OSTEOSARCOMAS, LEUCEMIAS y CARCINOMA ADRENOCORTICAL.

Scope note: 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.
