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	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Sep 06, 2023	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. -

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. -
