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

Variant summary: PALB2 c.2386G>T (p.Gly796X) 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. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251426 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.2386G>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Breast Cancer (Antoniou_2014, Castera_2014, Fernandes_2014). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Eight ClinVar submissions (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant seven times as pathogenic and once as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gly796*) 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 (rs180177112, gnomAD 0.004%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 17200668, 23935381, 24415441, 24549055, 25099575). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 126649). 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; Observed in individuals with a personal or family history consistent with pathogenic variants in this gene (PMID: 32853339, 21285249, 17200668, 26786923, 26283626, 28767289, 34113003); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 28779002, 17200668, 25099575, 24415441, 21285249, 24549055, 19264984, 25525159, 20852946, 26489409, 26283626, 23935381, 22692731, 19763884, 28825143, 29431189, 20858716, 26786923, 19763819, 28767289, 32853339, 29922827, 28888541, 34113003, 21165770, 35626031) -

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 5 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 detected in at least 5 individuals affected with breast, ovarian and pancreatic cancer (PMID: 17200668, 21285249, 26489409, 26786923, 28767289, 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID PALB2_010102). This variant has been identified in 2/282832 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. -

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.G796* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2386G>T), located in coding exon 5 of the PALB2 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 2386. This changes the amino acid from a glycine to a stop codon within coding exon 5. This alteration has been detected in multiple breast cancer patients and families (Rahman N et al. Nat. Genet. 2007 Feb;39:165-7; Antoniou AC et al. N. Engl. J. Med. 2014 Aug;371:497-506; Li YT et al. Eur. J. Med. Res. 2015 Oct;20:85; Lee JEA et al. J. Pathol. 2018 May;245(1):53-60). It was also seen in a patient with pancreatic cancer (Shindo K et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2017 Oct;35(30):3382-3390). 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. -
