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.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln66*) 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 present in population databases (rs180177083, gnomAD 0.002%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 21285249, 21409391, 23448497, 26534844). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 126629). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Truncating variants in this gene are considered pathogenic by a well-established clinical consortium and/or database; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 21409391, 25447460, 17420451, 27878467, 22692731, 25099575, 25863477, 26283626, 25525159, 23935381, 24206657, 27485037, 23448497, 26534844, 24870022, 28779002, 26786923, 21285249, 32853339, 34308104, 33763779, 33113089, 28888541, 34113003, 29922827, 33471991) -

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 3 of the PALB2 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 21285249, 21409391, 23448497, 23787919, 24206657, 25099575, 26534844, 26786923, 27878467, 34113003). This variant has been detected in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in 4/60466 cases and 1/53461 unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID PALB2_010022). This variant has been identified in 2/251474 chromosomes 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. -

The p.Q66* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.196C>T), located in coding exon 3 of the PALB2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 196. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 3. This mutation has been identified in multiple individuals and families of various ethnicities with breast cancer (Casadei S et al. Cancer Res, 2011 Mar;71:2222-9; Wong MW et al. Breast Cancer Res Treat, 2011 Jun;127:853-9; Teo ZL et al. Breast Cancer Res., 2013 Feb;15:R17; Nguyen-Dumont T et al. BMC Med Genomics, 2013 Nov;6:48; Antoniou AC et al. N Engl J Med, 2014 Aug;371:497-506; Thompson ER et al. Breast Cancer Res, 2015 Aug;17:111; Li J et al. J Med Genet, 2016 Jan;53:34-42; Thompson ER et al. J Clin Oncol, 2016 May;34:1455-9; Woodward ER et al. Genet Med, 2021 Jun; Dorling et al. N Engl J Med. 2021 02;384:428-439). 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. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: PALB2 c.196C>T (p.Gln66X) 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. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 251474 control chromosomes. c.196C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (e.g. Casadei_2011, Wong_2011, Nguyen-Dumont_2013, Thompson_2015). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. 12 other ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) have cited the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
