Genetic Variant NM_024675.4:c.1653T>A (chr16-23634893-A-T) – ACMG Classification: Pathogenic (22 pts)

Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 22 ACMG points: 22P and 0B. PVS1PS3PM2PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_024675.4(PALB2):c.1653T>A(p.Tyr551*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000124 in 1,613,896 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000273333: 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).; SCV000685893: "A function study has reported that this truncated variant protein disrupted PALB2 function in a homology-directed DNA repair assay (PMID:PMID: 31757951)."; SCV003933673: Evidence of loss of function from Boonen et al, 2019 HDR assay and PARP sensitivity assays". Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. Y551Y) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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.
