Intended purpose

The SALSA MLPA Probemix P056 TP53 is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) or research use only (RUO) semi-quantitative assay for the detection of deletions or duplications in TP53 gene in genomic DNA isolated from human peripheral whole blood specimens. P056 TP53 is intended to confirm a potential cause for and clinical diagnosis of Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS1) or Li-Fraumeni-like syndrome (LFL) and for molecular genetic testing of at-risk family members. In addition, this assay can be used to detect deletions or duplications in the human CHEK2 gene exons 8, 10 and 13 and the 1100delC mutation, to determine a suggested cause for Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS2) in a research setting.

In a research setting this assay can be used on tumour tissue-derived DNA.

For the full intended purpose, see the product description.

Clinical background

Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS or LFS1) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous inherited cancer syndrome. LFS is characterised by autosomal dominant inheritance and early onset of tumours, multiple tumours within an individual, and multiple affected family members. The most common types of tumours are adrenocortical carcinomas, breast cancer, central nervous system tumours, osteosarcomas, and soft-tissue sarcomas. Approximately 92% of LFS cases contain germline mutations in the tumour suppressor gene TP53. Families presenting incomplete features of LFS are referred to as having Li-Fraumeni-like syndrome (LFL), and 20-40% of these patients have a germline mutation in TP53 (Ruijs et al. 2010). Around 50% of the individuals carrying germline mutations in TP53 will develop cancer by the age of 30 years, with a lifetime cancer risk of ≥70% in men and almost ≥90% in women. Individuals with a germline TP53 pathogenic variant are managed by increased surveillance and are eligible for prophylactic surgery. Next to germline mutations, somatic pathogenic variants in TP53 are found in about 50% of all tumours, making it one of the most frequently altered genes in human cancers.

A second form of LFS (LFS2) has been suggested to be caused by mutations in the CHEK2 gene, in particular the CHEK2 1100delC variant. However, it is currently still under debate whether CHEK2 gene mutations actually cause LFS or are merely associated with an increased risk of several types of cancer, including those cancers often seen in LFS. Importantly, pathogenic CHEK2 variants still pose an increased risk of developing cancer, even if CHEK2 might not be associated with LFS. For more information: https://omim.org/entry/609265.

Regulatory status

SALSA MLPA Probemix P056 TP53 is CE-marked for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) use. This assay has also been registered for IVD use in Costa Rica and Israel.

This assay is for research use only (RUO) in all other territories.

SALSA Sample DNA for this product

SALSA Binning DNA SD067 is an artificial DNA sample with a signal for all probes in the P056 TP53 probemix. Inclusion of a reaction with SD067 in initial experiments and in experiments following a change in electrophoresis conditions is recommended to aid in the creation of a bin set that links peaks to the probes that produce them. Binning DNA cannot be used as a reference sample in the MLPA data analysis, and cannot be used to quantify the signals of mutation-specific probes.

A vial of SALSA Binning DNA SD067 is included with every order of the P056 TP53 probemix, but it is possible to order additional vials separately.

For more information, see the product description.

How to Order

Positive samples

Inclusion of a positive sample is usually not required, but can be useful for the analysis of your experiments. MRC Holland has very limited access to positive samples and cannot supply such samples. We recommend using positive samples from your own collection. Alternatively, you can use positive samples from an online biorepository, such as the Coriell Institute.

See this support article for commercially available positive samples that have been tested with this product.
