Description

This variant is a gross deletion of the genomic region encompassing exons 11-13 of the PALB2 gene. The 5' boundary is likely confined to intron 12. The 3' end of this event is unknown as it extends through the termination codon beyond the assayed region for this gene and may encompass additional genes. While this deletion is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to create a truncated PALB2 protein. While this particular variant has not been reported in the literature, loss-of-function variants in PALB2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 25099575, 17200668). This deletion eliminates a portion of the WD40 functional domain, which is encoded by exons 7 to 13 of the PALB2 mRNA. The entire WD40 domain is required for normal PALB2 protein function (PMID: 19423707, 16793542, 17200671), and loss-of-function mutations that disrupt this domain have been classified as pathogenic (Invitae). This deletion is likely to truncate the PALB2 protein and abolish its DNA repair function. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
