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.Glu1002Thrfs*4) 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 prostate cancer (PMID: 26485759). This variant is also known as p.E1002Tfs*4. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 187120). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Ambry Genetics

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.3004_3007delGAAA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the PALB2 gene, results from a deletion of 4 nucleotides at positions 3004 to 3007, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.E1002Tfs*4). 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

This variant deletes 4 nucleotides in exon 10 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. To our knowledge, this variant has been reported in an individual affected with prostate cancer (PMID: 26485759). 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. -

Variant summary: PALB2 c.3004_3007delGAAA (p.Glu1002ThrfsX4) 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 was absent in 251436 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.3004_3007delGAAA has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with breast-, ovarian- and prostate cancer (e.g. Yang_2020, Ruan_2023). These data indicate that the variant is likely associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 31841383, 37415201). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 187120). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
