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.Val978Serfs*2) 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 present in population databases (rs587782570, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with hereditary cancer syndromes (PMID: 24763289). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142591). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The PALB2 c.2931dup (p.Val978Serfs*2) variant alters the translational reading frame of the PALB2 mRNA and causes the premature termination of PALB2 protein synthesis. This variant has been reported in the published literature in an individual affected with breast cancer (PMID: 31173646 (2019)), and an individual that underwent hereditary cancer multigene panel testing (PMID: 24763289 (2014)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000004 (1/251478 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is consistent with pathogenicity. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.2931dupA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 9 of the PALB2 gene, results from a duplication of A at nucleotide position 2931, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon. 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. -
