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 16-23635536-A-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-23635536-A-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 822009.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Malignant tumor of breast Pathogenic:1

May 24, 2024

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: PALB2 c.1010T>G (p.Leu337X) 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 250924 control chromosomes. c.1010T>G has been reported in the literature in the heterozygous state in at least 1 individual affected with breast and ovarian cancer (example, Maxwell_2016). The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 27153395). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 822009). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Familial cancer of breast Pathogenic:1

Apr 24, 2024

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.Leu337*) 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 variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PALB2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 822009). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1

Apr 05, 2019

Ambry Genetics

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.L337* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1010T>G), located in coding exon 4 of the PALB2 gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 1010. This changes the amino acid from a leucine to a stop codon within coding exon 4. This variant has been identified in at least one patient with a personal and family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (Maxwell KN et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 2016 May;98:801-817). 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. -
