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 16-23634975-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-23634975-G-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 143964.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr16-23634975-G-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser524*) 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: 25099575, 27469594). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 143964). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Nonsense 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); Truncating variants in this gene are considered pathogenic by a well-established clinical consortium and/or database; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 25099575, 27469594, 28194609, 33646313, 32191290, 30130155, 34308104) -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.S524* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1571C>G), located in coding exon 4 of the PALB2 gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 1571. This changes the amino acid from a serine to a stop codon within coding exon 4. This alteration was reported as a loss of function mutation in a breast cancer patient (Antoniou AC et al. N. Engl. J. Med. 2014 Aug;371:497-506), and later in two unrelated individuals with early onset breast cancer and a family history of breast cancer (Donenberg T et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2016 Aug;159:131-8). 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. -
