XAF1 as a modifier of p53 function and cancer susceptibility
Cancer risk is highly variable in carriers of the common TP53-R337H founder allele, possibly due to the influence of modifier genes. Whole-genome sequencing identified a variant in the tumor suppressor XAF1 (E134*/Glu134Ter/rs146752602) in a subset of R337H carriers. Haplotype-defining variants were verified in 203 patients with cancer, 582 relatives, and 42,438 newborns. The compound mutant haplotype was enriched in patients with cancer, conferring risk for sarcoma (P = 0.003) and subsequent malignancies (P = 0.006). Functional analyses demonstrated that wild-type XAF1 enhances transactivation of wild-type and hypomorphic TP53 variants, whereas XAF1-E134* is markedly attenuated in this activity. We propose that cosegregation of XAF1-E134* and TP53-R337H mutations leads to a more aggressive cancer phenotype than TP53-R337H alone, with implications for genetic counseling and clinical management of hypomorphic TP53 mutant carriers.Fil: Pinto, Emilia M..

Cytogenetic study of Brazilian patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)
Bone marrow cytogenetic studies were performed on 93 patients with primary myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) diagnosed at the Clinical Hospital of the Federal University of Paraná, Brazil. Chromosomal alterations were observed in 69% of the patients. Monosomy of chromosome 7, deletions of 7q, 5q, 12p and 20q, rearrangements of 11q23 and trisomies of chromosomes 8 and 21 were the most frequent abnormalities observed. Among adult patients the most frequent aberrations were rearrangements of 11q23 and 12p deletions. In the pediatric group, 5q deletions and monosomy of chromosome 7 were the most common alterations
