Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS), caused primarily by pathogenic/likely pathogenic (P/LP) germline TP53 variants, is a variably penetrant, rare cancer predisposition syndrome with very high risks of cancer starting in childhood, including the risk of multiple primaries over the lifespan. This study aimed to characterize and quantify cancer incidence, patterns, and genotype-phenotype associations in individuals with P/LP germline TP53 variants. This observational cohort study was conducted on 480 carriers of P/LP germline TP53 variants enrolled in the National Cancer Institute’s referral-based longitudinal LFS study between August 1, 2011 and March 24, 2020. Data on personal and family history of cancer were obtained through study questionnaires and validated by medical records. Variants were categorized based on both loss-of-function (LOF) and dominant-negative effect (DNE) properties. LFS-associated cancer incidences were compared with the general population using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) 1975–2017 registry. Cancer incidences were evaluated using family-clustered Cox-regression models and competing risk methods. The standardized incidence of any cancer in carriers of P/LP germline TP53 variants compared with SEER is highest up to age 30 years (>60-times higher), remaining ~10-times higher after age 50 years. In females, the probability of a non-breast first cancer, considering breast cancer as a competing risk, was substantially lower than that of any first cancer (24·4% vs 50·4% by age 33·7 years). Overall, DNE_LOF and notDNE_LOF variants were associated with earlier age at first and second cancer compared with notDNE_notLOF and DNE_notLOF variants. The time interval from first to second cancer was shorter among carriers whose first cancer diagnoses were later in life. Multiple cancers were diagnosed within a short time frame in some participants. This study adds important granularity to the understanding of cancer incidence and patterns in individuals with P/LP germline TP53 variants. Integration of age-range-specific cancer incidence estimates, cancer-free survival by functional variant group, impact of risk-reducing mastectomy on female cancer incidence, and data on subsequent malignancy will be important as strategies are developed to optimize cancer screening and management for these individuals.
