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.

Familial cancer of breast Pathogenic:7
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 25, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gly796*) 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 (rs180177112, gnomAD 0.004%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 17200668, 23935381, 24415441, 24549055, 25099575). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 126649). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingMyriad Genetics, Inc.Mar 31, 2023This variant is considered pathogenic. This variant creates a termination codon and is predicted to result in premature protein truncation. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpSep 23, 2019Variant summary: PALB2 c.2386G>T (p.Gly796X) 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 4e-06 in 251426 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.2386G>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Breast Cancer (Antoniou_2014, Castera_2014, Fernandes_2014). 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. Eight ClinVar submissions (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant seven times as pathogenic and once as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJun 14, 2024The c.2386G>T (p.G796*) alteration, located in exon 5 (coding exon 5) of the PALB2 gene, consists of a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 2386. This changes the amino acid from a glycine (G) to a stop codon at amino acid position 796. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on data from gnomAD, the T allele has an overall frequency of 0.001% (2/282832) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.004% (1/24968) of African alleles. This variant has been detected in multiple breast cancer patients and families (Rahman, 2007; Antoniou, 2014; Li, 2015; Lee, 2018). It was also seen in a patient with pancreatic cancer (Shindo, 2017). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthAug 29, 2022This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 5 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 detected in at least 5 individuals affected with breast, ovarian and pancreatic cancer (PMID: 17200668, 21285249, 26489409, 26786923, 28767289, 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID PALB2_010102). This variant has been identified in 2/282832 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. -
