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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 16-23629672-ATG-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-23629672-ATG-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 430595.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr16-23629672-ATG-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This deletion of two nucleotides in PALB2 is denoted c.2480_2481delCA at the cDNA level and p.Thr827MetfsX6 (T827MfsX6) at the protein level. The normal sequence, with the bases that are deleted in brackets, is AACA[delCA]TGCC. The deletion causes a frameshift which changes a Threonine to a Methionine at codon 827, and creates a premature stop codon at position 6 of the new reading frame. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. PALB2 c.2480_2481delCA has been observed in at least one individual with breast cancer (Wang 2018). We consider this variant to be pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Thr827Metfs*6) 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 a personal and/or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 29566657). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 430595). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.2480_2481delCA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 5 of the PALB2 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 2480 to 2481, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.T827Mfs*6). This alteration has been previously reported as a germline mutation in a cohort of 480 individuals from Taiwan with a personal and/or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (Wang YA et al. BMC Cancer, 2018 03;18:315). This alteration as also been reported with a carrier frequency of 0.0001 in a cohort of 12,490 male controls of Japanese ancestry (Momozawa Y et al. Nat Commun, 2018 10;9:4083). 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. -
