Genomic DNA was isolated and used to determine TP53 sequence and the XAF1 p.E134∗ variant status as previously reported.8 Additionally, fluorescent-labelled PCR products for 10 polymorphic microsatellite markers located within (VNTRp53) or telomeric to the TP53 locus (Table S1) were genotyped by using the ABI 3500 sequencer (ThermoFisher Scientific) and sizes assigned to the different fragments using GeneMapper v 6.0 (ThermoFisher Scientific).8 ,13 (link) Haplotypes were determined by segregation analysis of genomic DNA from parents and descendants, loss of heterozygosity in tumor samples, or inferred.
