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.

Submissions by phenotype

Familial cancer of breast Pathogenic:2

Sep 11, 2023

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. -

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.Tyr551*) 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 breast and/or ovarian cancer and/or Fanconi anemia (PMID: 17200672, 21285249, 23935836, 28724667). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 819760). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The variant creates a premature nonsense codon, and is therefore predicted to result in the loss of a functional protein. Found in at least one patient with expected phenotype for this gene, and not found in general population data. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Y551* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1653T>G), located in coding exon 4 of the PALB2 gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 1653. This changes the amino acid from a tyrosine to a stop codon within coding exon 4. This mutation was reported in a patient with Fanconi anemia subtype N and in several patients with breast cancer and family histories of breast and/or pancreatic cancer (Xia B et al. Nat. Genet. 2007 Feb;39:159-61; Casadei S et al. Cancer Res. 2011 Mar;71:2222-9; Blanco A et al. PLoS ONE 2013 Jul;8:e67538). Of note, this mutation is also designated as Y551X and p.Tyr551Stop in published literature. 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. -
