Official title
Germline Genetic Testing of the TP53 Gene: Identification, Characterization, and Management of Patients and Families at High Risk of Cancer
Overview
This is a retrospective, observational, single-center study designed as a cohort analysis. The study population will include consecutive patients referred for genetic counseling and TP53 germline genetic testing between 2004 and 2025 at the Division of Cancer Prevention and Genetics of the IEO. The primary endpoint is to determine the overall detection rate of Pathological Variants (PVs) in the TP53 gene among individuals referred to the institute and the differences between the groups.
Primary outcome measures
- Overall detection rate of Pathological Variants (PVs) in the TP53 gene. [Time frame: Baseline]
Secondary outcome measures (5)
- Detection rate of pathological variants in the TP53 gene across cohort [Time frame: Baseline]
- Detection rate of Variant of Uncertain Significance in the TP53 gene. [Time frame: Baseline]
- Detection rate of pathological variants and variants of Uncertain Significance in other cancer susceptibility genes. [Time frame: Baseline]
- Disease Free Survival [Time frame: 5 years]
- Overall Survival (OS) [Time frame: 5 years]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Have undergone at least one genetic counseling session at the Division of Cancer Prevention and Genetics of the IEO;
- Have undergone germline TP53 genetic testing, regardless of the referral criteria for counseling and/or testing or the approach used;
- Have provided written informed consent for participation in scientific research.
Exclusion criteria
- Absence of signed informed consent for participation in scientific research.
Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
