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 16-23635848-AC-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-23635848-AC-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 126764.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr16-23635848-AC-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Val233Leufs*5) 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 premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with pancreatic cancer and breast cancer (PMID: 19333784, 27106063). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 126764). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant deletes 1 nucleotide 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. 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. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.697delG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 4 of the PALB2 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 697, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.V233Lfs*5). This alteration has been reported in a South African woman with early onset breast cancer and a family history of pancreatic, colon and prostate cancers (Sluiter M et al. Fam. Cancer, 2009 Mar;8:347-53). This alteration was also reported in a cohort of 152 unselected Czech patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and not in 1226 healthy controls (Borecka M et al. Cancer Genet, 2016 May;209:199-204). 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. -
