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.Val870*) 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: 23977390, 29263802). This variant is also known as c.2606delC, p.S869*. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 496466). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: 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. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000004 (1/251484 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is consistent with pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in individuals with breast cancer (PMIDs: 29263802 (2016), 26250988 (2015), 23977390 (2013)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.2607delC pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 7 of the PALB2 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 2607, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.V870*). This alteration, designated as c.2606delC, has been identified in an Asian breast cancer cohort (Phuah SY et al. PLoS ONE, 2013 Aug;8:e73638). In one case-control study, this alteration was not identified in 3030 pancreatic cancer cases but was identified in 1/53105 controls from the Exome Aggregation Consortium (Hu C et al. JAMA, 2018 06;319:2401-2409). 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. -

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: The PALB2 c.2607delC (p.Val870Terfs) variant results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncated or absent PALB2 protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. One in silico tool predicts a damaging outcome for this variant. This variant was found in 1/121404 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000082, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic PALB2 variant (0.0001563). This variant has been reported in a HBOC patient. The variant of interest has not, to our knowledge, been evaluated for functional impact by in vivo/vitro studies. Taken together, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic until more information becomes available. -
