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.

Apr 05, 2018

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys662*) in the PALB2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in PALB2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17200668, 24136930, 25099575). This variant has been reported in individuals with a personal and/or family history of breast and other cancers (PMID: 25575445, 27648926). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). -

Myriad Genetics, Inc.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is considered pathogenic. This variant creates a termination codon and is predicted to result in premature protein truncation. -

Jan 15, 2020

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health

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 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. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.K662* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1984A>T), located in coding exon 5 of the PALB2 gene, results from an A to T substitution at nucleotide position 1984. This changes the amino acid from a lysine to a stop codon within coding exon 5. This alteration has been reported in individuals with breast cancer, including male breast cancer (Nguyen-Dumont T et al. Breast Cancer Res Treat, 2015 Jan;149:547-54; Rizzolo P et al. Int J Cancer, 2019 07;145:390-400). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -
