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 testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpDec 08, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Pro1153Thrfs*4) in the PALB2 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 34 amino acid(s) of the PALB2 protein. 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: 25099575, 25452441, 26681312). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 128142). This variant disrupts a region of the PALB2 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Tyr1183*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 17200671; Invitae). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:3
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthJun 21, 2022This variant inserts 1 nucleotide in exon 13 of the PALB2 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal in the last coding exon. The mutant protein is expected to escape nonsense-mediated decay and be expressed as a truncated protein with disrupted WD40 domain that is important for PALB2 function (PMID: 31757951, 33139182). This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 25099575, 25186627, 25452441, 26681312, 28709830). 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 GeneticsJan 10, 2022The c.3456dupA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 13 of the PALB2 gene, results from a duplication of A at nucleotide position 3456, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.P1153Tfs*4). This pathogenic mutation has been identified in multiple individuals with a personal history of breast cancer and a family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (Couch FJ et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2015 Feb;33(4):304-11; Tung N et al. Cancer 2015 Jan;121(1):25-33; Susswein LR et al. Genet. Med. 2016 Aug;18:823-32; Schoolmeester JK et al. Hum. Pathol. 2017 Jul;70:14-26; Dudley B et al. Cancer. 2018 Apr;124(8):1691-1700). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingClinical Genomics Laboratory, Washington University in St. LouisAug 29, 2023The PALB2 c.3456dup (p.Pro1153fs) variant has been reported in the medical literature in individuals with breast cancer (Antoniou A et al., PMID: 25099575; Couch F et al., PMID: 25452441; Susswein L et al., PMID: 26681312). This variant causes a frameshift by insertion of one nucleotide leading to premature termination. This frameshift occurs in the last exon and is not predicted to lead to nonsense mediated decay, although it disrupts the last 34 amino acids of PALB2, which are suggested to be necessary for protein function (Quinodoz M et al., PMID: 35120630). This variant is absent from the general population (gnomAD v.2.1.1), indicating it is not a common variant. This variant has been submitted to ClinVar as pathogenic by 11 laboratories (variation ID: 128142). Based on available information, and based on ACMG/AMP guidelines for variant interpretation (Richards S et al., PMID: 25741868), this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
PALB2-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesJun 01, 2023The PALB2 c.3456dupA variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Pro1153Thrfs*4). This variant has been reported in individuals with breast cancer and individuals with pancreatic cancer (Table S2, Antoniou et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25099575; Table 1, Schoolmeester et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28709830; Table 2, Dudley et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29360161; eTable 3, Hu et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29922827; Supplement, Tung et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25186627; Table S1, Couch et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25452441; Table A4, Abe et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 30883245). This variant has not been reported in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. It is interpreted as pathogenic in ClinVar (https://preview.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/128142/). Frameshift variants in PALB2 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
