Purpose of Testing
- Identify germline mutations in the TP53 gene.
- Assess the lifetime risk of developing associated cancers.
- Guide family members toward necessary preventive screening.
Li-Fraumeni syndrome testing identifies TP53 gene mutations associated with high lifetime cancer risk. This crucial genetic analysis empowers you and your family to implement proactive screening and personalized prevention strategies.
Scientific name: TP53 Gene Sequencing for Li-Fraumeni Syndrome
A specialized genetic test that sequences the TP53 gene to detect mutations causing Li-Fraumeni syndrome. It assesses lifetime cancer risks and guides personalized medical surveillance and prevention plans for patients.
