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.Pro707Leufs*2) 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 present in population databases (rs587780210, gnomAD 0.01%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer and thyroid cancer and breast cancer (PMID: 25575445, 26681312). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 128128). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The PALB2 c.2120del (p.Pro707Leufs*2) variant alters the translational reading frame of the PALB2 mRNA and causes the premature termination of PALB2 protein synthesis. This variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with breast cancer (PMID: 26681312 (2015), 25575445 (2015)) and breast and thyroid cancer (PMID: 29922827 (2018)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000008 (2/251492 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is consistent with pathogenicity. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant deletes 1 nucleotide in exon 5 of the PALB2 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast cancer, and in an individual affected with breast cancer and thyroid cancer (PMID: 25575445, 26681312; Color internal data). This variant has been identified in 2/251492 chromosomes 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. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.2120delC pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 5 of the PALB2 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 2120, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.P707Lfs*2). This alteration was reported in a woman diagnosed with breast cancer at age 62 from a cohort of 1250 families enrolled in the Breast Cancer Family Registry (Nguyen-Dumont T et al. Breast Cancer Res.Treat. 2015 Jan;149(2):547-54). This alteration was identified in 1/10030 consecutive patients referred for evaluation by an NGS hereditary cancer panel (Susswein LR et al. Genet Med. 2016 8;18(8):823-32.). 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. -

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.2120delC (p.Pro707Leufs*2) variant in the PALB2 gene is predicted to introduce a premature translation termination codon. This variant has been reported in two patients affected with breast cancer (PMID 25575445, 26681312) and is extremely rare in general population databases. Therefore, this c.2120delC (p,Pro707Leus*2) variant in the PALB2 gene is classified as pathogenic. -

Variant summary: PALB2 c.2120delC (p.Pro707LeufsX2) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 251492 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.2120delC has been reported in the literature in at least an individual affected with PALB2-related cancer (example: Nguyen-Dumot_2016). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 25575445). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 128128). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
