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.

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu990*) 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 present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.01%). 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: 231227). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The variant creates a premature nonsense codon, and is therefore predicted to result in the loss of a functional protein. Found in at least one patient with expected phenotype for this gene, and found in general population data at a frequency that is consistent with pathogenicity. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.E990* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2968G>T), located in coding exon 9 of the PALB2 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 2968. This changes the amino acid from a glutamic acid to a stop codon within coding exon 9. This alteration has been identified in multiple Chinese breast and/or ovarian cancer patients (Kwong A et al. J Mol Diagn, 2020 04;22:544-554; Zhou J et al. Cancer, 2020 07;126:3202-3208; Hu ZY et al. Front Genet, 2020 Aug;11:829; Li JY et al. Int J Cancer, 2019 01;144:281-289; Wang J et al. Cancer Med, 2019 05;8:2074-2084). 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. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 9 of the PALB2 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with familial breast cancer (PMID: 32068069; Hu et al. 2020, doi.org/10.3389/fgene.2020.00829). This variant has been identified in 2/251468 chromosomes 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. -
