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 testingInvitaeDec 06, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys974Glufs*5) 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, 28779002). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 126696). RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this premature translational stop signal on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (Invitae). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthSep 09, 2021This variant deletes 2 nucleotides in exon 9 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. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals and families affected with breast cancer (PMID: 21285249, 26681312, 26898890, 28779002) and is reported to segregate with disease (PMID: 26898890). 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. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsApr 27, 2022The c.2920_2921delAA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 9 of the PALB2 gene, results from a deletion of 2 nucleotides between positions 2920 and 2921, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.K974EFS*5). This alteration has been previously reported in individuals with personal and family histories of breast cancer (Casadei S et al. Cancer Res. 2011 Mar; 71(6):2222-9; Antoniou AC et al. N. Engl. J. Med. 2014 Aug;371(6):497-506; Susswein LR et al. Genet Med. 2016 Aug;18(8):823-32; Decker B et al. J Med Genet. 2017 Nov;54(11):732-41). 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. -

This variant is absent in 123322 control chromosomes. Multiple publications cite the variant in affected individuals, along with multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classifying the variant as "pathogenic." Therefore, the variant of interest has been classified as "pathogenic." -
