Genetics matter. Know your family, know your genes.
LFS predisposes carriers to a diverse range of childhood and adult-onset cancers – some rare, often early onset. Most families with LFS have an inherited pathogenic variant in the TP53 gene – a tumor suppressor gene. Malfunctioning TP53 are involved with most all cancers in the general population.
Always at the Heart of What We Do
As families who have been affected by LFS, we all know the significant challenges we have faced and overcome. At the LFS Association we want to share hope, resilience and compassion to all of our LFS families. We are the Faces of LFS…we are LFS Strong.
Honoring & Remembering Our LFS Family.
Forever in Our Hearts.
