Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp | Jan 31, 2024 | This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu545*) 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 (rs180177103, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 21165770, 24415441). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 126611). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. - |

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health | Dec 22, 2022 | This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 4 of the PALB2 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in at least four individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 21165770, 24415441, 27553368, 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID PALB2_010079). This variant has been identified in 1/251444 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, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Ambry Genetics | May 25, 2022 | The p.E545* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1633G>T), located in coding exon 4 of the PALB2 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 1633. This changes the amino acid from a glutamic acid to a stop codon within coding exon 4. This mutation was reported in a German woman who was diagnosed at the age of 83 years with bilateral invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) with estrogen and progesterone receptor negative tumors (T2N1M0 and T2N0M0). She did not have an apparent family history of breast cancer, but reportedly her maternal grandmother suffered from stomach cancer and her sister died at the age of 67 from a cancer of unknown origin (Bogdanova N et al. Breast Cancer Res Treat. 2011 Apr;126:545-50). This alteration was also seen in a cohort of 1479 patients who underwent PALB2 genetic testing for hereditary breast cancer after previously testing negative for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations (Fernandes PH et al. Cancer. 2014 Apr;120:963-7). Additionally, this mutation was identified in a cohort of 80 Portuguese patients with a family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer who underwent multi-gene panel testing after testing negative for the BRCA1 and BRCA2 Portuguese founder mutations (Pinto P et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2016 Sep;159:245-56). 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. - |
PALB2-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided | clinical testing | PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences | Nov 13, 2023 | The PALB2 c.1633G>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Glu545*). This variant has been reported to be causative for breast cancer (Fernandes et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24415441). This variant has also been reported in an individual with bilateral invasive ductal carcinoma with estrogen and progesterone receptor negative tumors (Bogdanova et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21165770). This variant is reported in 0.0033% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/16-23646234-C-A). This variant has been reported in the ClinVar database as pathogenic (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/126611/). Nonsense variants in PALB2 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. - |

Malignant tumor of breast Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided | clinical testing | Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System | - | The PALB2 p.Glu545X variant was identified in 3 of 3364 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.001) from individuals or families with breast cancer (Bogdanova 2011, Fernandes 2014). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs180177103) as With Pathogenic allele, ClinVar (classified as pathogenic by Ambry Genetics, GeneDx, Counsyl, Invitae), LOVD 3.0, Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database, databases. The variant was identified in control databases in 1 of 246250 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000004 (Genome Aggregation Consortium Feb 27, 2017). The p.Glu545X variant leads to a premature stop codon at position 545, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. Loss of function variants of the PALB2 gene are an established mechanism of disease in breast cancer and is the type of variant expected to cause the disorder. In addition, the variant was found in a patient diagnosed at the age of 83 years as having bilateral invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) with estrogen and progesterone receptor negative tumors (Bogdanova 2011). In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic. - |
