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.Glu53Lysfs*15) 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 a personal and/or family history of breast cancer (PMID: 25099575, 25452441). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 143963). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.156delA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 3 of the PALB2 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 156, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.E53Kfs*15). This alteration was reported in one individual from a cohort of 1824 patients with triple negative breast cancer, unselected for family history or age of onset (Couch FJ et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2015 Feb; 33(4):304-11). 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. -
