• Several variants were identified multiple times in those who did and did not meet Li-Fraumeni Syndrome clinical criteria: p.R175, p.G245, p.R248, p.R273, and p.R282
• Other variants were exclusively found in those in the Li-Fraumeni Syndrome group: p.M133T, p.P152L, p.C275Y, p.C275, p.R337C, p.R342, and p.R342P
• One variant was exclusively found in patients with attenuated Li-Fraumeni Syndrome: p.R110L
