Background information on Li-Fraumeni Syndrome [When available]

Li-Fraumeni syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant hereditary disorder. It is named after Frederick Pei Li and Joseph F. Fraumeni, American physicians who originally described the syndrome. It increases greatly the susceptibility to cancer. The syndrome is a mutation in the p53 tumor suppressor gene, which normally helps control cell growth.
