Genes affected

PALB2 (HGNC:26144): (partner and localizer of BRCA2) This gene encodes a protein that may function in tumor suppression. This protein binds to and colocalizes with the breast cancer 2 early onset protein (BRCA2) in nuclear foci and likely permits the stable intranuclear localization and accumulation of BRCA2.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 16-23626248-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-23626248-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 821738.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jan 08, 2024	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp912*) in the PALB2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PALB2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17200668, 17200671, 17200672, 24136930, 25099575). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 31841383). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 821738). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.W912* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2736G>A), located in coding exon 7 of the PALB2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2736. This changes the amino acid from a tryptophan to a stop codon within coding exon 7. This alteration was detected in 1/5589 German BRCA1/2-negative probands with breast cancer (Hauke J et al. Cancer Med, 2018 04;7:1349-1358). This alteration was also detected in a patient with a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor. The patient also carried a gross deletion in the NF1 gene (Byrjalsen A et al. PLoS Genet, 2020 12;16:e1009231). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
