Li-Fraumeni syndrome 1 is a heritable disorder characterized by early onset of tumors, typically multiple tumors and a variety of tumors within an individual. It is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutation in the TP53 gene. Information about fly models for human disease related to TP53 can be found in the report "cancer, multiple, TP53-related" (FBhh0000340).

LFS is characterized by autosomal dominant inheritance and early onset of tumors, multiple tumors within an individual, and multiple affected family members. In contrast to other inherited cancer syndromes, which are predominantly characterized by site-specific cancers, LFS presents with a variety of tumor types. The most common types are soft tissue sarcomas and osteosarcomas, breast cancer, brain tumors, leukemia, and adrenocortical carcinoma. [from MIM:151623; 2016.07.07]
LFS1 is caused by heterozygous mutation in the TP53 gene (p53). [from MIM:151623; 2016.07.07]
