The Li-Fraumeni cancer predisposition syndrome (LFS, MIM 151623) was originally described as an autosomal dominantly inherited syndrome characterized by childhood sarcomas and multiple other cancer types and is often due to germ-line mutations in the TP53 gene. 1 Classic LFS diagnostic criteria based on the early-onset sarcoma phenotype are over 90% specific for TP53 mutations; however, sensitivity is only 40%. 2 Therefore, more expansive criteria (Chompret criteria) were developed to predict the presence of a germ-line TP53 mutation, including diagnosis of a “core cancer”(sarcoma, premenopausal breast, brain, leukemia, or adrenocortical carcinoma) and/or multiple primary malignancies and/or family members with early-onset cancer. 3 These criteria are over 90% sensitive for TP53 mutations, but specificity is low, ranging from 15 to 52%, 2 probably owing to locus heterogeneity, a broader phenotypic spectrum associated with TP53 mutations than originally appreciated, and the existence of de novo mutations. In view of the phenotypic heterogeneity associated with germ-line TP53 mutations, TP53 is found on nearly all multiplex panels in current clinical use for cancer predisposition evaluation. There are many challenges in interpreting a TP53 mutation in this current era of multiplex panel testing, given the low pretest probability of a mutation in the majority of individuals being tested, the preponderance of missense mutations in TP53 with variable support of pathogenicity, and the potential for low or incompletely penetrant TP53 mutations.Recently, germ-line TP53 mutation testing has become further complicated by the increasing recognition that massively parallel sequencing (MPS) detects mutations in TP53—among other genes—in circulating blood cells at allelic fractions inconsistent with a heterozygous or homozygous mutation. 4 These so-called “mosaic mutations” have always existed; 5 however, traditional Sanger sequencing-based genetic testing probably missed the vast majority of cases. Although rare, mosaic TP53 results are creating significant clinical conundrums as the interpretation of the etiology of these results has differing clinical implications. In this issue of Genetics in Medicine, Weitzel and colleagues analyze data from a clinical testing laboratory and use ancillary testing to address the important clinical question of the frequency and possible etiologies of mosaic TP53 results. 6
