Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_024675.4(PALB2):​c.802_803insTA​(p.Lys268IlefsTer12) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. K268K) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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 16-23635743-T-TTA is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-23635743-T-TTA is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 461023.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	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Dec 28, 2023	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys268Ilefs*12) 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: 461023). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: The c.801_802dupTA (p. Lys268Argfs) variant in PALB2 gene is a frameshift change that is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The variant is located within exon 4, which appears to be the most common fragment accounting for PALB2 mutations associated with BrC. The variant is absent from the large control population datasets of ExAC and gnomAD. Although c.801_802dupTA has not been reported in affected individuals or cited by reputable databases/clinical laboratories, mutations downstream (1050_1051delinsTCT, c.1285_1286delinsTC) have been reported as Pathogenic. . In addition, the variant was identified in an unaffected individual undergoing genetic testing due to an extensive family history of BrC (three sisters and paternal aunt and 1st cousin). This individual also tested positive for a pathogenic mutation PMS2 c.2186_2187delTC p.L729fs*6. Taken together, the variant was classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
