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.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 16-23635288-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-23635288-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 142412.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Submissions by phenotype

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Jul 07, 2023	The p.Q420* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1258C>T), located in coding exon 4 of the PALB2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1258. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 4. 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 submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Jan 08, 2024	This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 4 of the PALB2 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. 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. -

Familial cancer of breast Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Mar 20, 2023	This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PALB2-related conditions. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142412). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln420*) 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). -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Myriad Genetics, Inc.	Sep 08, 2023	This variant is considered pathogenic. This variant creates a termination codon and is predicted to result in premature protein truncation. -

GeneDx

Sep 14, 2017

This variant is denoted PALB2 c.1258C>T at the cDNA level and p.Gln420Ter (Q420X) at the protein level. The substitution creates a nonsense variant, which changes a Glutamine to a premature stop codon (CAG>TAG), and is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Although this variant has not, to our knowledge, been reported in the literature, it is considered pathogenic. -
