Abstract

Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is a rare genetic disease with strong predispositions to multiple early-onset neoplasms, mostly sarcomas, breast cancers, brain tumors and adrenocortical carcinomas (LFS core cancers). In most LFS families the germline mutations of TP53 tumor suppressor gene were found. Lung cancer does not belong to the core cancers of LFS, however its higher incidence is observed in families with TP53 mutations. Our aim was to search for TP53 mutations in female lung cancer patients whose clinico-demographic characteristics suggested a probable genetic predisposition to the disease. The coding region of TP53 from blood DNA was sequenced using Sanger method. The functioning of detected mutation was tested by luciferase reporter assay. We found a nucleotide substitution c.569C>G, p.Pro190Arg, which was not described in the TP53 germline mutation database (http://p53.iarc.fr/TP53GermlineMutations.aspx). The mutation destroys the ability of p53 to transactivate BAX promoter and significantly reduces transactivation potential of p53 toward the promoter of MDM2 gen. We identified novel germline mutation of TP53.

Adrenocortical Carcinoma

Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy of the adrenal cortex, associated with a generally dismal prognosis owing to its aggressive behavior. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
