Research
Our research focuses on germline TP53 variants (Li–Fraumeni syndrome/heritable TP53-related cancer syndrome). We address research questions with direct clinical relevance, aiming to improve risk stratification, clinical decision-making, and patient management. Our work includes investigation of genotype–phenotype relationships using bioinformatic approaches and registry-based methodologies. Our group coordinates the Swedish nationwide, multicenter surveillance study SWEP53.
