Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_024675.4(PALB2):c.3130C>T(p.Gln1044Ter) variant causes a stop gained change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. Q1044Q) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 16-23614075-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-23614075-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 480290.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Familial cancer of breast Pathogenic:3

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jan 28, 2024	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln1044*) 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: 31841383). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 480290). Studies have shown that this premature translational stop signal is associated with inconclusive levels of altered splicing (Invitae). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Myriad Genetics, Inc.	Sep 14, 2023	This variant is considered pathogenic. This variant creates a termination codon and is predicted to result in premature protein truncation. -

The p.Q1044* variant (also known as c.3130C>T), located in coding exon 11 of the PALB2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 3130. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 11. 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. -
