Ohmoto A, Hayashi N, Takahashi S, Ueki A. Current prospects of hereditary adrenal tumors: towards better clinical management. Hered Cancer Clin Pract 2024; 22:4.

Abstract
Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) and pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma (PPGL) are two rare types of adrenal gland malignancies. Regarding hereditary tumors, some patients with ACC are associated with with Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS), and those with PPGL with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2. Recent studies have expanded this spectrum to include other types of hereditary tumors, such as Lynch syndrome or familial adenomatous polyposis. Individuals harboring germline TP53 pathogenic variants that cause LFS have heterogeneous phenotypes depending on the respective variant type. As an example, R337H variant found in Brazilian is known as low penetrant. While 50-80% of pediatric ACC patients harbored a LFS, such a strong causal relationship is not observed in adult patients, which suggests different pathophysiologies between the two populations. As for PPGL, because multiple driver genes, such as succinate dehydrogenase (SDH)-related genes, RET, NF1, and VHL have been identified, universal multi-gene germline panel testing is warranted as a comprehensive and cost-effective approach. PPGL pathogenesis is divided into three molecular pathways (pseudohypoxia, Wnt signaling, and kinase signaling), and this classification is expected to result in personalized medicine based on genomic profiles. It remains unknown whether clinical characteristics differ between cases derived from genetic predisposition syndromes and sporadic cases, or whether the surveillance strategy should be changed depending on the genetic background or whether it should be uniform. Close cooperation among medical genomics experts, endocrinologists, oncologists, and early investigators is indispensable for improving the clinical management for multifaceted ACC and PPGL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is a rare autosomal dominant disease with high penetrance caused by a germline variant of TP53 gene. We report the first case of endometrial cancer after yolk sac tumor with LFS. CASE PRESENTATION The presented female patient underwent right adnexectomy at age 23 because of a yolk sac tumor of the ovary. At the age of 27, the patient was diagnosed with endometrial adenocarcinoma, received cytoreductive surgery and chemotherapy. Given that her personal cancer history along with a strong family history of cancer, her father passing away from lung cancer at age 48 and her grandmother dying of ovarian cancer at age 50, the patient was referred for genetic counseling and testing. Genetic screening revealed a heterozygous pathogenic TP53 c.844C > T, p.( R282 W) with NM_000546.5 variant, a class 5 (C5) variant. This is the first reported case of a yolk sac tumor accompanied by subsequent endometrial cancer that is associated with LFS. CONCLUSIONS We reported a first case of an endometrial cancer after yolk sac tumor patient with a tumor family history of harboring the germline TP53 pathogenic variation which expanded types of tumor that can be presented in patients with LFS. This case highlights the importance of genetic testing for patients with malignant tumors, as well as patients with a family history of malignant tumors. And our case highlights the necessity of screening for gynecologic tumor in LFS patients.

Abstract
Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is an autosomal dominant cancer-predisposition disorder. Approximately 70% of individuals who fit the clinical definition of LFS harbor a pathogenic germline variant in the TP53 tumor suppressor gene. However, the remaining 30% of patients lack a TP53 variant and even among variant TP53 carriers, approximately 20% remain cancer-free. Understanding the variable cancer penetrance and phenotypic variability in LFS is critical to developing rational approaches to accurate, early tumor detection and risk-reduction strategies. We leveraged family-based whole-genome sequencing and DNA methylation to evaluate the germline genomes of a large, multi-institutional cohort of patients with LFS (n = 396) with variant (n = 374) or wildtype TP53 (n = 22). We identified alternative cancer-associated genetic aberrations in 8/14 wildtype TP53 carriers who developed cancer. Among variant TP53 carriers, 19/49 who developed cancer harbored a pathogenic variant in another cancer gene. Modifier variants in the WNT signaling pathway were associated with decreased cancer incidence. Furthermore, we leveraged the noncoding genome and methylome to identify inherited epimutations in genes including ASXL1, ETV6, and LEF1 that confer increased cancer risk. Using these epimutations, we built a machine learning model that can predict cancer risk in patients with LFS with an area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.725 (0.633-0.810). Significance Our study clarifies the genomic basis for the phenotypic variability in LFS and highlights the immense benefits of expanding genetic and epigenetic testing of patients with LFS beyond TP53. More broadly, it necessitates the dissociation of hereditary cancer syndromes as single gene disorders and emphasizes the importance of understanding these diseases in a holistic manner as opposed to through the lens of a single gene.

Abstract
Background Li-Fraumeni Syndrome (LFS) is a cancer predisposition syndrome characterized by the early-onset of multiple primary cancers which can occur at different moments (metachronous onset) or, more rarely, coincidentally (synchronous onset). Here we describe a previously unreported patient with presentation of synchronous Wilms tumor and Choroid plexus papilloma, leading to the diagnosis of a Li-Fraumeni Syndrome (LFS). Case presentation A 6-year-old girl without previous complains presented with abdominal pain. Abdominal US and MRI showed a left renal tumor with subcapsular hematoma. Due to mild headaches, the diagnostic workup included a brain MRI that unexpectedly identified a large left parietal lobe tumor. Histopathological analysis determined the diagnosis of classic Wilms tumor and choroid-plexus papilloma (CPP), respectively. Both neoplasms showed intense nuclear p53 immunostaining associated with the pathogenic TP53 mutation c.844C > T (p.Arg282Trp). Our patient and her father shared the same heterozygous germline TP53 mutation, confirming the diagnosis of familiar Li-Fraumeni syndrome in the girl. The treatment was tailored to simultaneous tumor presentations. Conclusions LFS has been associated with Choroid plexus carcinoma (CPC), but rarely with CPP as in our patient. That suggests that it may be advisable to consider the possibility of analyzing TP53 mutation, not only in all patients with CPC, but also in some patients with CPP, especially when histological or clinical evidences point out to perform this study. The dissimilar presentation of LFS among our patient’s father, not having so far any neoplasia diagnosed, while her daughter presented precociously with two simultaneous different tumors, could be related to possible effects of modifier genes on the underlying mutant p53 genotype.

Abstract
Li–Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is an autosomal dominant condition associated with a high risk of a broad range of childhood- and adult-onset cancers. LFS is related to germline mutations of the tumor-suppressor gene TP53. The most common reported leukemia associated with LFS is hypodiploid acute lymphoblastic leukemia, but myeloid malignancies including acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic myeloid leukemia, and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) are also reported, often in the setting of therapy-related disease. We reviewed the clinicopathologic characteristics including cytogenetics and molecular analysis for seven adult patients with LFS and hematologic malignancies evaluated at the Hereditary Hematologic Malignancy Clinic (HHMC) at MD Anderson Cancer Center. We present this LFS review series to increase awareness of LFS for the appropriate diagnosis of both patients and potentially affected relatives, as well as provide experience with patient outcomes in this difficult to treat population.

Abstract
Tumor protein 53 (TP53) is a tumor suppressor gene that encodes tumor protein p53. Tumor protein p53 regulates the expression of target genes in response to cellular stress. Additionally, p53 participates in the regulation of cell cycle checkpoints, DNA repair and apoptosis. Mutations in the TP53 gene are associated with numerous types of human cancer, including breast cancer, sarcomas, brain tumors and adrenal cortical carcinomas. In breast cancer, TP53 mutations are a negative prognostic factor. Tumors with TP53 mutations are more likely to be aggressive (triple-negative or human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive breast cancer), and resistant to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In addition to a well-known TP53 mutation, a number of single nucleotide polymorphisms have been systematically identified and evaluated in human populations. In the present article, the role of TP53 mutations and polymorphisms in clinical practice and breast cancer treatment has been described. Additionally, the existing data on TP53 polymorphisms in breast cancer as prognostic and predictive factors have been summarized. A literature search of these topics was performed through PubMed and abstracts of the main cancer congresses in recent years.

Abstract
Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is a hereditary cancer predisposition syndrome, with the characteristics of early onset of cancer and high cancer incidence. TP53 is widely accepted as a pathogenic gene of LFS. A 2 years and 6 months old boy is reported in this article, who was diagnosed with embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) in the left submandibular region. His brother died of RMS, and his grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer. TP53 gene mutation detection was performed in this patient and some family members, indicating a missense mutation in exon 8 of the patient: c.844C>T (p.Arg282Trp, heterozygous). TP53 mutation was also found in his mother and sister. The boy met the diagnostic criteria for LFS. Among pediatric patients, the most common LFS diseases include osteosarcoma, adrenocortical cancer, central nervous system tumor, and soft tissue tumor. Additionally, leukemia and lymphoma are also involved. LFS patients have a high risk to suffer secondary or even multiple cancers. Therefore, it is necessary to perform genetic detection for pediatric cancer patients, especially those with hereditary predisposition cancers. TP53 mutation often indicates poor prognosis, so it is important to take active treatment and systematic monitoring for LFS family.
