Description

The c.2642_2645dupGTTG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 7 of the PALB2 gene, results from a duplication of GTTG between nucleotide positions 2642-2645, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.C882Wfs*3). This alteration has been identified in patients with breast cancer, who had NGS hereditary cancer panel testing (Frey MK et al. Gynecol. Oncol. 2017 07;146:123-128; Susswein LR et al. Genet. Med. 2016 Aug;18:823-32). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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 inserts 4 nucleotides in exon 7 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. A functional study has reported that this variant results in the loss of PALB2 function in homology-directed repair and resistance to PARP inhibitor assays (PMID: 31757951). This variant has been reported in at least two individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 26681312, 28495237). This variant has not been identified 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.
