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 16-23635512-A-AAG is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-23635512-A-AAG is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 492143.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Familial cancer of breast Pathogenic:3

Apr 27, 2018

Human Genome Sequencing Center Clinical Lab, Baylor College of Medicine

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This c.1032_1033dupCT (p.Leu345Serfs*2) frameshift variant in the PALB2 gene is predicted to introduce a premature translation termination codon. Mono-allelic loss of function variants in the PALB2 gene have been associated with susceptibility to breast cancer and pancreatic cancer. Bi-allelic loss of function variants in this gene are associated with Fanconi anemia, complementation group N (OMIM 610832). This variant in the PALB2 gene is classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu345Serfs*2) 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: 492143). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Mar 10, 2022

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant inserts 2 nucleotides 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. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.1032_1033dupCT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 4 of the PALB2 gene, results from a duplication of CT at nucleotide position 1032, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.L345Sfs*2). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -
