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.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:3

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Mar 14, 2022	The c.3186delA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 11 of the PALB2 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 3186, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.A1063Pfs*12). 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	University of Washington Department of Laboratory Medicine, University of Washington	Nov 20, 2015	- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Aug 20, 2020	This variant deletes 1 nucleotide in exon 11 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. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. 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. -

Familial cancer of breast Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Aug 08, 2022	ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 224540). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 26845104). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ala1063Profs*12) 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). -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Myriad Genetics, Inc.	Sep 14, 2023	This variant is considered pathogenic. This variant creates a frameshift predicted to result in premature protein truncation. -
