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 16-23629856-TGA-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-23629856-TGA-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 229748.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr16-23629856-TGA-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Submissions by phenotype

not provided Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Sep 19, 2018	This deletion of 2 nucleotides in PALB2 is denoted c.2296_2297delTC at the cDNA level and p.Val767LeufsX5 (V767LfsX5) at the protein level. The normal sequence, with the bases that are deleted in brackets, is AGAC[delTC]AGTC. The deletion causes a frameshift which changes a Valine to a Leucine at codon 767, and creates a premature stop codon at position 5 of the new reading frame. Although this variant has not, to our knowledge, been reported in the literature, it is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and is considered to be pathogenic. -

Familial cancer of breast Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 05, 2024	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Val767Leufs*5) 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 variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PALB2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 229748). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Myriad Genetics, Inc.	Sep 12, 2023	This variant is considered pathogenic. This variant creates a frameshift predicted to result in premature protein truncation. -

The c.2296_2297delTC pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 5 of the PALB2 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 2296 to 2297, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.V767Lfs*5). 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. -
