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.

Myriad Genetics, Inc.

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is considered likely pathogenic. This variant is located within the gene translation start codon (p.Met1?) and is predicted to result in abnormal protein translation. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change affects the initiator methionine of the PALB2 mRNA. The next in-frame methionine is located at codon 296. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of the initiator codon has been observed in individual(s) with bile duct cancer, breast cancer, glioblastoma multiforme, and/or pancreatic cancer (PMID: 29625052, 31173646, 31263571, 31871297). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1798683). If translation initiation is rescued by the downstream methionine at codon 296, this would result in loss of the coiled-coil domain (p.Leu9-Glu42) of the PALB2 protein, which is critical for the interaction between BRCA1/BRCA2, and necessary for homology-directed DNA repair (PMID: 16793542, 19369211, 26649820, 25099575). This variant disrupts a region of the PALB2 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Leu35Pro) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 28319063, 30337689, 31586400). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The PALB2 c.2T>G variant disrupts the translation initiation codon of the PALB2 mRNA and is predicted to interfere with PALB2 protein synthesis. This variant has been reported in the published literature to reside in a region of the gene that is important for proper PALB2 protein interactions, homology directed repair activity, and gene interactions between PALB2, BRCA1, BRCA2, RAD51, and KEAP1 (PMIDs: 26649820 (2015), 24998779 (2014), 19369211 (2009)). While this variant, to the best of our knowledge, has not been reported in individuals with PALB2-related cancers, other variants that disrupt the initiation codon have been seen in individuals with breast cancer (PMID: 31173646 (2019)), pancreatic cancer (PMID: 31871297 (2020)), bile duct cancer (PMID: 31263571 (2019)), and glioblastoma multiforme (PMID: 29625052 (2018)). This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.M1? variant (also known as c.2T>G) is located in coding exon 1 of the PALB2 gene and results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 2. This alters the methionine residue at the initiation codon (ATG). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Sequence variations that modify the initiation codon are expected to result in either loss of translation initiation, N-terminal truncation, or cause a shift in the mRNA reading frame. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
