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.

Familial cancer of breast Pathogenic:6

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 10, 2024	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys824Leufs*2) 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: 25452441). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 216121). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Apr 03, 2020	Variant summary: PALB2 c.2470dupT (p.Cys824LeufsX2) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 251448 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.2470dupT has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Breast Cancer (Couch_2015, Lu_2018). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Two ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Aug 23, 2024	The c.2470dupT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 5 of the PALB2 gene, results from a duplication of T at nucleotide position 2470, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.C824Lfs*2). This mutation has been reported in multiple breast and/or ovarian cancer patients (Couch FJ et al. J Clin Oncol, 2015 Feb;33:304-11; Hauke J et al. Cancer Med, 2018 04;7:1349-1358; Lu HM et al. JAMA Oncol, 2019 01;5:51-57). This mutation was also detected in a cohort of healthy Australian women screened using an 11-gene custom sequencing panel (Rowley SM et al. Genet Med, 2019 04;21:913-922). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Apr 24, 2023	This variant inserts 1 nucleotide in exon 5 of the PALB2 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in four individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 25452441, 29522266, 30128536) and one individual who was unaffected with breast cancer (PMID: 30254378). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of PALB2 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
