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.

Submissions by phenotype

Familial cancer of breast Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeApr 22, 2023For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 233463). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 25575445). This variant is present in population databases (rs752592662, gnomAD 0.006%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu703*) 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 submitterclinical testingMyriad Genetics, Inc.Sep 12, 2023This variant is considered pathogenic. This variant creates a termination codon and is predicted to result in premature protein truncation. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsOct 18, 2022The p.L703* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2108T>G), located in coding exon 5 of the PALB2 gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 2108. This changes the amino acid from a leucine to a stop codon within coding exon 5. This alteration was identified in 1/1240 probands from the Breast Cancer Family Registry who had previously screened negative for BRCA1/2 mutations (Nguyen-Dumont T et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2015 Jan;149:547-54). 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. -
