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.

Familial cancer of breast Pathogenic:4
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingMyriad Genetics, Inc.Mar 30, 2023This variant is considered pathogenic. This variant creates a termination codon and is predicted to result in premature protein truncation. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpSep 19, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln314*) 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 variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PALB2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 187557). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsApr 05, 2022The p.Q314* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.940C>T), located in coding exon 4 of the PALB2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 940. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 4. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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 HealthMar 16, 2023This 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. This variant has been reported in one individual affected with urothelial cancer (PMID: 31794323) and in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in 1/60466 cases and 0/53461 unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID PALB2_011108). 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. -
Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJun 16, 2017Variant summary: The PALB2 c.940C>T (p.Gln314X) variant results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncated or absent PALB2 protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (e.g. c.2167_2167delAT, c.2920_2921delAA, p.Trp1038X, etc.). This variant is absent in 121222 control chromosomes from ExAC. Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories (via ClinVar) have classified this variant as pathogenic. The variant of interest has not, to our knowledge, been reported in affected individuals via publications. Taken together, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic. -
