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 testingInvitaeJan 31, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Phe440Leufs*12) 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 (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 20852946, 25186627, 25619955, 26681312). This variant is also known as 1517delG. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 126598). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:3
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJun 13, 2022The c.1317delG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 4 of the PALB2 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at position 1317, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.F440Lfs*12). This mutation has been reported in multiple families with histories of early onset breast cancer and melanoma (Balia C et al. Fam. Cancer. 2010 Dec;9:531-6; Sokolenko AP et al. Cancer Lett. 2015 Apr;359:259-61) as well as in several large cohort studies of breast cancer patients undergoing multigene panel testing (Decker B et al. J. Med. Genet. 2017 11;54(11):732-741; Sun J et al. Clin. Cancer Res. 2017 Oct;23(20):6113-6119; Susswein LR et al. Genet. Med. 2016 08;18(8):823-32; Tung N et al. Cancer 2015 Jan;121(1):25-33) . Of note, this alteration is also designated as c.1517delG by Balia et al. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition to the clinical 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 testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthApr 17, 2022This variant deletes 1 nucleotide 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. This variant has been reported in at least 10 individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 20852946, 25186627, 25619955, 26681312, 28724667, 31768816, 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID PALB2_010070; Color internal data). This variant has been identified in 1/249846 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 submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpApr 01, 2021Variant summary: PALB2 c.1317delG (p.Phe440LeufsX12) 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 249846 control chromosomes. c.1317delG has been reported in the literature in several individuals and in at least one family affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (e.g. Balia 2010, Tung 2015, Sokolenko 2015, Susswein 2015, Sun 2017). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. One study noted that the there was a differential expression of the WT and the mutated mRNA, presumably due to nonsense mediated decay (NMD), though no experimental data was provided (Balia 2010). Seven clinical diagnostic laboratories and one database (LOVD) have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Some submitters cite overlapping evidence utilized in the context of this evaluation. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
