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 16-23635499-AT-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-23635499-AT-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 460871.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

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	Invitae	Mar 08, 2017	This sequence change deletes 1 nucleotide from exon 4 of the PALB2 mRNA (c.1046delA), causing a frameshift at codon 349. This creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asn349Ilefs*7) and is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PALB2 are known to be pathogenic. This particular variant has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with breast cancer (PMID: 27616075). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.1046delA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 4 of the PALB2 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 1046, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.N349Ifs*7). This alteration has been reported in a individual with a personal and family history of breast cancer (Kraus C et al. Int. J. Cancer, 2017 Jan;140:95-102). 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. -
