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	Baylor Genetics	Oct 19, 2023	- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Myriad Genetics, Inc.	Sep 14, 2023	This variant is considered pathogenic. This variant creates a frameshift predicted to result in premature protein truncation. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Sep 27, 2023	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). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Mar 02, 2023	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. -
