Description

The c.172_175delTTGT (p.Q60Rfs*7) alteration, located in exon 3 (coding exon 3) of the PALB2 gene, consists of a deletion of 4 nucleotides from position 172 to 175, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon after 7 amino acids. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This alteration has been reported in pancreatic, breast, and ovarian cancer patients, including multiple individuals with family histories significant for PALB2-related cancers (Jones, 2009; Casadei, 2011; Prokofyeva, 2012; Janatova, 2013; Cybulski, 2015; Kluska, 2017; Myszka, 2018). It was also seen in a patient with medulloblastoma (Waszak, 2018). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic.

Description

This variant deletes 4 nucleotides in exon 3 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. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in over 15 individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 21285249, 21618343, 22310028, 24136930, 25099575, 25452441, 26283626, 27616075, 28724667, 29052111), 2 individuals affected with pancreatic cancer (PMID: 19264984, 27038244) and an individual affected with medulloblastoma (PMID: 29753700). This variant also has been reported in a breast cancer case-control study in 40/12529 cases and 10/4702 unaffected individuals (OR = 4.02, 95% CI 1.6 to 16.2) and a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in 24/60466 cases and 9/53461 unaffected individuals (OR = 2.358, 95%CI 1.096 to 5.074) (PMID: 25959805, 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID PALB2_010002). This variant has been identified in 12/282872 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.

Description

This variation is a deletion of 4 nucleotides from exon 3 of the PALB2 mRNA, causing a frameshift after codon 60 and the creation of a premature translation stop signal 7 amino acid residues later p.(Gln60Argfs*7). This is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Truncating mutation in PALB2 gene are known to be pathogenic. The mutation database ClinVar contains multiple entries for this variant (Variation ID: 126623).
