Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_024675.4(PALB2):c.1702C>T(p.Gln568Ter) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. Q568Q) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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 16-23630452-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-23630452-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 460907.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The p.Q568* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1702C>T), located in coding exon 5 of the PALB2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1702. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 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. -

This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln568*) in the PALB2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in PALB2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17200668, 24136930, 25099575). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with PALB2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 460907). -
