dbSNP rs1327399690: PALB2:p.Gln228* (chr16-23635864-G-A) – ACMG Classification: Pathogenic (10 pts)

Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PM5_SupportingPVS1PM2_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.682C>T (p.Gln228Ter) variant in PALB2 is a nonsense variant predicted to cause a premature stop codon in biologically-relevant exon 4 leading to nonsense mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism. This variant is absent in the gnomAD v2.1.1. This alteration results in a termination codon upstream of the most C-terminus pathogenic alteration (PALB2 p.Tyr1183*) as classified by the HBOP VCEP, and is expected to be more deleterious. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant hereditary breast and pancreatic cancer and autosomal recessive FANCN based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied as specified by the HBOP VCEP.

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.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln228*) 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: 484222). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome

Jul 19, 2023

Ambry Genetics

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Q228* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.682C>T), located in coding exon 4 of the PALB2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 682. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 4. 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. -

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.682C>T (p.Gln228X) 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 251096 control chromosomes. c.682C>T has been reported in the literature in at least one individual affected with breast cancer (e.g. Yang_2020). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Four submitters, including one expert panel (ClinGen), have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
