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.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxNov 16, 2022Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Observed in individuals with a personal or family history consistent with pathogenic variants in this gene (Jones et al., 2009; Casadei et al., 2011; Blanco et al., 2013; Hu et al., 2018; Dorling et al., 2021); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 25583207, 27829436, 31446535, 19264984, 25525159, 21285249, 24141787, 23038782, 20871615, 24870022, 23935381, 21165770, 23935836, 31589614, 29922827, 17200672, 33471991, 31636395, 31757951) -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:4
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJul 08, 2021The p.Y551* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1653T>A), located in coding exon 4 of the PALB2 gene, results from a T to A substitution at nucleotide position 1653. This changes the amino acid from a tyrosine to a stop codon within coding exon 4. In one study, this mutation was found to be functionally abnormal in both a homology-directed DNA repair (HDR) assay and a PARP inhibitor sensitivity assay (Boonen RACM et al. Nat Commun, 2019 11;10:5296). This alteration was also found to be functionally abnormal in another HDR assay (Wiltshire T et al. Genet Med, 2020 03;22:622-632). This mutation has previously been reported in multiple individuals with personal history of breast cancer and family history of breast and/or pancreatic cancer (Casadei S et al. Cancer Res. 2011 Mar; 71(6):2222-9; Blanco A et al. PLoS ONE 2013; 8(7):e67538; Cerretini R et al. Breast Cancer Res Treat, 2019 Dec;178:629-636) and in trans with a partial PALB2 gene deletion in an individual with Fanconi anemia (Xia B et al Nat. Genet. 2007 Feb;39(2):159-61). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, 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. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthDec 22, 2022This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 4 of the PALB2 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. A function study has reported that this truncated variant protein disrupted PALB2 function in a homology-directed DNA repair assay (PMID: PMID: 31757951). This variant has been observed in six individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 21285249, 23935836, 31446535), one of whom was affected with early-onset, triple-negative breast cancer with family history of breast and pancreatic cancer (PMID: 23935836) and three others had family history of breast cancer (PMID: 31446535). This variant has been observed in compound heterozygous state with the deletion of PALB2 exons 1-10 in an individual affected with Fanconi anemia (PMID: 17200672, 17924555). Fibroblasts from this individual lacked the full-length PALB2 protein and exhibited hypersensitivity and loss of DNA damage responses after mitomycin C treatment (PMID: 17200672). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of PALB2 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 14, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr551*) 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 and/or ovarian cancer and/or Fanconi anemia (PMID: 17200672, 21285249, 23935836). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1243). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
