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 submitter | clinical testing | Division of Medical Genetics, University of Washington | Jan 22, 2020 | This variant leads to a translational frameshift and the introduction of a premature termination codon at position 2 of the new reading frame. The variant transcript is predicted to be unstable and degraded by nonsense-mediated decay. Loss of expression of one allele of PALB2 is a well-established mechanism of disease for increased breast cancer risk (Rahman 2007, Janatova 2013, Antoniou 2014). This variant has an allele frequency of 0.00001 in the Broad Institute gnomAD Browser (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). This variant has been reported in the literature in individuals with Fanconi anemia, as well as individuals with breast cancer and pancreatic cancer (Reid 2007, Rahman 2007, Jones 2009, Slater 2010, Couch 2015, Shirts 2016). Thus, this variant is interpreted as pathogenic. PM2; PVS1 - |

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Ambry Genetics | Oct 13, 2021 | The c.3116delA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 11 of the PALB2 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 3116, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.N1039Ifs*2). This mutation has been reported in individuals affected with familial breast cancer and familial pancreatic cancer (Rahman N et al. Nat. Genet. 2007 Feb;39(2):165-7; Jones S et al. Science 2009 Apr 10;324(5924):217; Slater EP et al. Clin. Genet. 2010 Nov;78(5): 490-4; Thompson ER et al. Breast Cancer Res. 2015 Aug;17:111; Couch FJ et al.

J Cancer Res Clin Oncol, 2021 Mar;147:871-879). It has also been identified in conjunction with another PALB2 mutation in an individual affected with Fanconi anemia type N (Reid S et al. Nat. Genet. 2007 Feb;39(2):162-4). 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 | Jul 17, 2024 | The PALB2 c.3116delA variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Asn1039Ilefs*2). This variant has been reported in individuals with breast, pancreatic, and prostate cancer (Rahman et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17200668; Jones et al. 2009. PubMed ID: 19264984; Slater et al. 2010. PubMed ID: 20412113; Matejcic et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32832836). It was also reported in the compound heterozygous state in an individual with a history of acute myeloid leukemia, neuroblastoma, and Fanconi Anemia Reid et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17200671). This variant is reported in 0.0027% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD and is interpreted as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/126715/). Frameshift variants in PALB2 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. - |

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided | clinical testing | Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System | - | The PALB2 p.Asn1039IlefsX2 variant was identified in 16 of 15604 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.001) from individuals or families affected with Fanconi anemia, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, and stomach cancer and was present in 1 of 3996 control chromosomes (frequency: 0.00025) from healthy individuals (Thompson_2015, Slater_2010, Reid_2007, Rahman_2007, Jones_2009, Zheng_2012, Southey_2013, Couch_2015, Shirts_2016, Antoniou_2014). The variant was also identified in the following databases: dbSNP (ID: rs180177133) as “With Pathogenic allele”, ClinVar and Clinvitae (13x as pathogenic by Ambry Genetics, Invitae, GeneDx, Color Geneomics, Counsyl, PALB2 database, OMIM and as likely pathogenic by Peter MacCallum Cancer Center) and Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database. The variant was not identified in the Cosmic, MutDB, or LOVD 3.0 databases. The variant was identified in control databases in 3 of 244820 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000012 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). It was observed in the European (Non-Finnish) population in 3 of 110928 chromosomes (freq: 0.000027), but not in other populations. Protein blot analysis of lymphoblastoid cells from individuals with biallelic PALB2 mutations has demonstrated that the mutation results in a null allele confirming its pathogenicity; this study has shown that biallelic pathogenic mutations in PALB2 in affected families cause a new subtype of Fanconi anemia and cancer in early childhood (Reid_2007). The c.3116delA variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 1039 and leads to a premature stop codon 2 codons downstream. This alteration is then predicted to result in a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. Loss of function variants of the PALB2 gene are an established mechanism of disease in PALB2 related cancer and is the type of variant expected to cause the disorder. In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic. - |
Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp | May 11, 2023 | Variant summary: PALB2 c.3116delA (p.Asn1039IlefsX2) 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. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 249950 control chromosomes. c.3116delA has been reported in the literature as a biallelic genotype in at least one individual affected with Fanconi Anemia and childhood cancer and in the heterozygous state in multiple individuals affected with breast cancer (e.g. Reid_2007, Antoniou_2014). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 25099575, 17200671). Fifteen submitters have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and all classified the variant as pathogenic (n=14)/likely pathogenic(n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. - |
