Description

The c.3113G>A pathogenic mutation (also known as p.W1038*), located in coding exon 10 of the PALB2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 3113. This changes the amino acid from a tryptophan to a stop codon within coding exon 10. This change occurs in the last base pair of coding exon 10, and has been shown to generate three aberrant mRNA isoforms: one with complete skipping of exon 10 (deletion of 117 bp), another which uses an alternative splice site within exon 10 (out-of-frame deletion of 31 bp) (Casadei S et al. Cancer Res. 2011 Mar;71:2222-9; Teo ZL et al. Breast Cancer Res. 2013 Feb;15:R17; Casadei S et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2019 Dec). In addition, this mutation has been identified in multiple early-onset breast cancer probands with significant breast cancer family histories (Hartley T et al. Hered Cancer Clin Pract. 2014;12:19; Teo ZL et al. Fam. Cancer. 2013 Dec;12:587-95; Rahman N et al. Nat. Genet. 2007 Feb;39:165-7; Wong MW et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2011 Jun;127:853-9; Zhen DB et al. Genet. Med. 2015 Jul;17:569-77; Nguyen-Dumont T et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2015 Jan;149:547-54; Thompson ER et al. Breast Cancer Res. 2015 Aug;17:111; Ding YC et al. Fam. Cancer. 2018 Apr;17:187-195). This alteration has also been reported in a kindred with at least two family members affected with pancreatic cancer (Zhen DB et al. Genet. Med. 2015 Jul;17:569-77). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, 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.

Description

This variant causes a nonsense mutation in exon 10 and is also predicted to disrupt splicing at the intron 10 splice donor site in the PALB2 gene. RNA studies have reported that this variant causes splicing defects resulting in an in-frame deletion of exon 10 or exons 9 and 10, impacting the WD40 domain of PALB2, or an out-of-frame transcript due to the use of a cryptic donor site within exon 10 that results in a premature translational stop signal. Normally spliced transcript from the mutant allele has a nonsense mutation due to the coding sequence change (PMID: 21285249, 23448497, 31843900). This variant has been observed in over a dozen individuals affected with early-onset breast cancer with positive history of breast and other cancers (PMID: 17200668, 21182766, 21285249, 22241545, 23471749, 25225577, 28864920; DOI: 10.1016/j.gimo.2023.100849), an individual affected with familial pancreatic cancer (PMID: 25356972), and in two individuals affected with ovarian cancer and two unaffected individuals (PMID: 26315354). This variant has been detected in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in 31/60466 cases and 6/53461 unaffected individuals with an estimated odds ratio of 4.57 (95% CI 1.906 to 10.955) (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID PALB2_010150). This variant has been shown to segregate with breast cancer in families (PMID: 21182766, 26534844). This variant has been identified in 17/282756 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD), predominantly in non-Finnish Europeans and also in African-Americans. Loss of PALB2 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.
