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.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:3

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Aug 31, 2021	This variant inserts 1 nucleotide in exon 4 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 not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. 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. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	May 17, 2024	The c.932_933insC pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 4 of the PALB2 gene, results from an insertion of one nucleotide at position 932, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.K311Nfs*10). 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. -
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided	research	Center of Medical Genetics and Primary Health Care	Apr 08, 2020	The PALB2 variant p.Lys311Asnfs is a frameshift variant located in exon 4 and the BRCA1 interaction functional domain. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product and loss-of-function variants in PALB2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17200668, 24136930, 25099575) (PVS1 Pathogenic Very Strong). It is in a mutation hotspot in a vicinity of 8 pathogenic variants (PM1 Pathogenic Moderate). This variant is not found in GnomAD exomes neither in GnomAD genomes (PM2 Pathogenic Moderate). This variant is reported in ClinVar as a pathogenic variant. In our study this variant was found in a 68-year-old female with a family history of cancer. Particularly, her brother was diagnosed with prostate cancer at age 62. Therefore, based on the evidence, we classified this variant as a Pathogenic. -

Familial cancer of breast Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Myriad Genetics, Inc.	Sep 07, 2023	This variant is considered pathogenic. This variant creates a frameshift predicted to result in premature protein truncation. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Feb 26, 2023	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys311Asnfs*10) 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: 410166). -
