In the future this holistic approach could be used to develop tailored strategies for cancer surveillance in patients with this rare and devastating cancer predisposition syndrome.

@vallisubasri used this to develop a machine learning model which can predict cancer risk in patients with Li Fraumeni Syndrome.

Amazing work by @vallisubasri comprehensively investigating the ways in which germline genetic variants and epimutations effect cancer risk in patients with Li-Fraumeni syndrome, using whole genome sequencing and methylation data from 396 LFS patients.

Our study is out today in @NatureComms ! We analyzed cancer genomes from patients with Li-Fraumeni syndrome and found early copy number gain of the mutant allele of TP53 to be a characteristic feature of these tumours.

We have expanded our previous method of copy number signatures developed in sarcomas to identify a reference set of pan-cancer copy number signatures. These are available on @cosmic_sanger.now! 1/2.
