Description

The c.3362delG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 13 of the PALB2 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 3362, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.G1121Vfs*3). This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of thePALB2 gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and only impacts the last 66 amino acids of the protein. However, premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature and the impacted region is critical for protein function (Ambry internal data). This mutation has been previously reported in numerous kindreds characterized by early-onset breast cancer, triple negative breast cancer, prostate and/or pancreatic cancer (Blanco A at al. PLoS ONE. 2013 Jul;8:e67538; Janatova M et al. Cancer Epidemiol. Biomarkers Prev. 2013 Dec;22:2323-32; Antoniou AC et al. N. Engl. J. Med. 2014 Aug;371:497-506; Castéra L et al. Eur. J. Hum. Genet. 2014 Nov;22:1305-13; Couch FJ et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2015 Feb;33:304-11; Thompson ER et al. Breast Cancer Res. 2015 Aug;17:111; Thompson ER et al. J Clin Oncol, 2016 May;34:1455-9; Lee JEA et al. J. Pathol. 2018 May;245(1):53-60; Nguyen-Dumont T et al. Int J Cancer, 2020 10;147:2142-2149). This alteration was found to be functionally abnormal in a homology-directed DNA repair (HDR) assay (Wiltshire T et al. Genet Med, 2020 03;22:622-632). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.

Description

This variant deletes 1 nucleotide in exon 13 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 at least eight individuals affected with breast, ovarian and pancreatic cancer (PMID: 23935836, 24136930, 24549055, 25452441, 29431189, Color internal data). This variant has been identified in 1/251320 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.
