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.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Pro1009Leufs*6) 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 breast cancer (PMID: 21285249). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 126706). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This deletion of one nucleotide is denoted PALB2 c.3026delC at the cDNA level and p.Pro1009LeufsX6 (P1009LfsX6) at the protein level. The normal sequence, with the base that is deleted in braces, is GCCCC[C]TGAG. The deletion causes a frameshift, which changes a Proline to a Leucine at codon 1009, and creates a premature stop codon at position 6 of the new reading frame. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. PALB2 3026delC, previously denoted as 3022delC, has been reported in at least three individuals with breast cancer (Casadei 2011, Susswein 2015). We consider this variant to be 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 10 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.3026delC pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the PALB2 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 3026, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.P1009Lfs*6). This alteration has been observed in multiple individuals and families with high risk breast cancer (Casadei S et al. Cancer Res, 2011 Mar;71:2222-9; Catucci I et al. Fam Cancer, 2012 Sep;11:483-91; Susswein LR et al. Genet Med, 2016 08;18:823-32). In a homology-directed DNA repair (HDR) assay, this alteration was found to be functionally abnormal. In a PARP inhibitor sensitivity assay, this alteration was found to be functionally abnormal (Boonen RACM et al. Nat Commun, 2019 11;10:5296). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -
