Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 20 ACMG points: 20P and 0B. PVS1PS3PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_024675.4(PALB2):c.3323delA(p.Tyr1108SerfsTer16) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000372 in 1,613,894 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000187367: "This alteration was found to be functionally abnormal in a homology-directed DNA repair (HDR) assay (Wiltshire T et al. Genet Med. 2020 03" and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. Y1108Y) has been classified as Likely benign. The gene PALB2 is included in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry.

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.

ACMG classification

Specifications for PALB2 are available in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry and recommended for reference when assigning criteria.

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 20 ACMG points.

PVS1

Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most 50 bp of the penultimate exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 75 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.

PS3

PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV000187367: "This alteration was found to be functionally abnormal in a homology-directed DNA repair (HDR) assay (Wiltshire T et al. Genet Med. 2020 03;22:622-632)."; SCV000218818: Experimental studies have shown that this premature translational stop signal does not substantially affect PALB2 function (PMID: 23341105).; SCV000601783: A functional study found that this variant was deficient in homology-directed DNA repair activity (PMID: 31636395 (2020)).

PP5

Variant 16-23607890-GT-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-23607890-GT-G is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 126734.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
