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.

Pathogenic:2

Aug 21, 2019

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant inserts 1 nucleotide in exon 1 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. Computational splicing tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. To our knowledge, functional assays have not been performed for this variant. This variant (also known as c.12_13insT in the literature) has been reported in an individual affected with breast cancer (PMID: 27469594). This variant has been identified in 1/247574 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of PALB2 function is a known mechanism of disease. Based on available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

Ambry Genetics

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.12dupT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 1 of the PALB2 gene, results from a duplication of T at nucleotide position 12, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.P5Sfs*8). 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 sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Pro5Serfs*8) 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 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 27469594). This variant is also known as c.12_13insT. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 246045). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: PALB2 c.12dupT (p.Pro5SerfsX8) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 247574 control chromosomes. c.12dupT has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (e.g. Palmer_2020). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 32427313). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 246045). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
