Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PM5_Supporting PVS1 PM2_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.7G>T (p.Glu3Ter) variant in PALB2 is a nonsense variant predicted to cause a premature stop codon in biologically-relevant-exon 1 leading to nonsense mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism. This alteration results in a termination codon upstream of the most C-terminus pathogenic alteration (PALB2 p.Tyr1183*) as classified by the HBOP VCEP and is expected to be more deleterious. This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant hereditary breast and pancreatic cancer and autosomal recessive FANCN based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied as specified by the HBOP VCEP.

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.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu3*) 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 endometrial cancer (PMID: 30093976). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 241571). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 1 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 two individuals affected breast cancer and an individual affected with both breast and endometrial cancer (PMID: 30093976, 32339256). This variant has been detected in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in 3/60466 cases and 0/53461 unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID PALB2_011235). 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. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.E3* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.7G>T), located in coding exon 1 of the PALB2 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 7. This changes the amino acid from a glutamic acid to a stop codon within coding exon 1. This alteration was identified in multiple individuals diagnosed with breast cancer (Zhou J et al. Cancer, 2020 Jul;126:3202-3208; Ng PS et al. J Med Genet, 2022 May;59:481-491). 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. -
