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.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpAug 03, 2018Variant summary: PALB2 c.757_758delCT (p.Leu253IlefsX3) 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 (eg. c.1240C>T/p.Arg414X, c.2167_2168delAT/p.Met723fsX21). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8.2e-06 in 123596 control chromosomes. c.757_758delCT has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer in heterozygous state and one individual with Fanconi anemia in compound heterozygous state (Walsh_2011, Casedei_2011, Tung_2015). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Seven ClinVar submissions from other clinical diagnostic laboratories (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as "pathogenic." Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 30, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu253Ilefs*3) 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 (rs180177092, gnomAD 0.002%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer and breast cancer and/or ovarian cancer and Fanconi anemia (PMID: 17200671, 21285249, 22006311, 26845104, 26898890). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 126768). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMay 17, 2022The c.757_758delCT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 4 of the PALB2 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 757 to 758, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.L253Ifs*3). This mutation has been reported in both Fanconi anemia type-N (FA-N) and familial breast cancer cohorts (Reid S et al. Nat. Genet. 2007 Feb;39:162-4; Tischkowitz M et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 2007 Apr;104:6788-93; Casadei S et al. Cancer Res. 2011 Mar;71:2222-9; Antoniou AC et al. N. Engl. J. Med. 2014 Aug;371:497-506; Tung N et al. Cancer. 2015 Jan;121:25-33; Susswein LR et al. Genet. Med. 2016 Aug;18:823-32). Another study reported this mutation in a woman with peritoneal carcinoma and a family history significant for breast and/or ovarian cancer (Walsh T et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 2011 Nov;108:18032-7). It was also seen in a medulloblastoma cohort (Waszak SM et al. Lancet Oncol. 2018 06;19(6):785-798). In addition to the information 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. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneKor MSAJan 01, 2020This mutation is a 2 nucleotide deletion in exon 4 of the PALB2 gene. This result in a frameshift and the creation of a premature stop codon three amino acid residues later.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthDec 21, 2022This variant deletes 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, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in at least 10 individuals affected with breast, peritoneal and endometrial cancer and one unaffected individual (PMID: 21285249, 22006311, 23935381, 25186627, 26681312, 26845104, 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID PALB2_000005) and an individual affected with medulloblastoma (PMID: 29753700). This variant also has been reported in trans with another pathogenic PALB2 variant in an individual affected with biallelic Fanconi anemia (PMID: 17200671). This variant has been identified in 2/251366 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. -

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesMay 24, 2024The PALB2 c.757_758delCT variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Leu253Ilefs*3). This variant has been reported in the compound heterozygous state in a patient with Fanconi anemia who had Wilms tumor, AML, and medullobalstoma in addition to classic FA features (see patient GESH in Reid et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17200671). This variant has also been reported in the heterozygous state in many patients with various other cancer types including gastric cancer (Fewings et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29706558), breast cancer and / or endometrial cancer (Casadei et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21285249; Susswein et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26681312; Tung et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25186627). This variant is reported in 0.0018% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Frameshift variants in PALB2 are expected to be pathogenic, and this variant has been classified as pathogenic by multiple independent submitters to the ClinVar database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/126768). Given the evidence, we too interpret c.757_758del (p.Leu253Ilefs*3) as pathogenic. -
