Characterisation of heritable TP53-related cancer syndrome in Sweden-a nationwide study of genotype-phenotype correlations in 90 families.

ABSTRACT: We aimed to describe the clinical characteristics of families with heritable TP53-related cancer (hTP53rc) syndrome in Sweden with class 4 and 5 germline TP53 variants (gTP53), and to evaluate the genotype-phenotype correlation. These results were also used to evaluate our previously published phenotype prediction model based on TP53 missense variants and their impact on protein conformation. 90 families with hTP53rc were initially identified in Sweden. After variant reclassification using the TP53-specific ACMG criteria, 83 families remained (176 carriers) to harbour a pathogenic (class 5) or likely pathogenic (class 4) variant in TP53. Of these, 112 carriers (64%) had a previous history of cancer, and 35 (31%) had developed more than one primary tumour. 16% of the families met the strict
