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.

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu1010Argfs*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 premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 32339256, 35264596). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 231807). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Ambry Genetics
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.3027delT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the PALB2 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 3027, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.E1010Rfs*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. -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant deletes 1 nucleotide in exon 10 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. This variant has been reported in a male individual affected with breast and prostate cancer (PMID: 30564542). 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. -
