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

While this particular variant has not been reported in the literature in an individual affected with a PALB2-related disease, loss-of-function variants in PALB2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 25099575, 17200668). This variant is also known as c.2966_2967insCAACAAGT in the literature. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal at codon 990 (p.Glu990Asnfs*3) of the PALB2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
