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.

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.557delA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 4 of the PALB2 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 557, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.N186Ifs*7). 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. -
