TP53 Genetic Testing
TP53 genetic testing looks for selected changes in the TP53 gene in a specimen defined for the clinical question.
Why might it be discussed?
Testing may be considered in specialist care when personal or family history raises concern about an inherited TP53-related condition. Results do not predict with certainty whether cancer will occur.
Important boundary
Pre-test and post-test genetic counselling are important. Tumor testing and inherited testing answer different questions, and this page does not interpret either for an individual.
