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.

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant, c.1350_1355del, results in the deletion of 2 amino acid(s) of the PALB2 protein (p.Asn452_Leu453del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is present in population databases (rs755002948, gnomAD 0.008%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PALB2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 402292). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.1350_1355delTTTAAA variant is located in coding exon 4 of the PALB2 gene. This variant results from an in-frame deletion of TTTAAA between nucleotide positions 1350 and 1355 with a predicted subsequent deletion of two amino acids (p.Asn452_Leu453del) in the protein. This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by Provean in silico analysis. This nucleotide region is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
