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.Lys353Asnfs*3) 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: 26681312, 26757417). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 182745). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This frameshift variant alters the translational reading frame of the PALB2 mRNA and causes the premature termination of PALB2 protein synthesis. It has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). In the published literature, the variant has been reported in individuals with breast cancer (PMID: 32339256 (2020), 32068069 (2020), 30720863 (2019), 29566657 (2018), 28825143 (2017), 26757417 (2016)) and colorectal cancer (PMID: 31360874 (2018)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

The c.1059delA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 4 of the PALB2 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at position 1059, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.K353Nfs*3). This mutation has been reported in numerous cohorts of breast cancer patients (Susswein LR et al. Genet. Med. 2016 Aug;18(8):823-32; Ng PS et al. Clin. Genet. 2016 Oct;90:315-23; Zhang K et al. Breast Cancer Res Treat. 2017 Dec;166:865-873; Wang YA et al. BMC Cancer. 2018 03;18:315; Deng M et al. Int J Cancer. 2019 09;145:1517-1528; Zhou J et al. Cancer. 2020 Jul;126:3202-3208; Hu ZY et al. Front Genet. 2020 Aug;11:829; Kwong A et al. J Mol Diagn. 2020 04;22:544-554). This alteration was also identified in a Chinese male diagnosed with early-onset colorectal cancer (Toh MR et al. JNCI Cancer Spectr. 2018 Oct;2:pky054). 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. -

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant deletes 1 nucleotide in exon 4 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. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 26681312, 26757417, 28825143). 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. -
