Partner and localizer of BRCA2 (PALB2) is a gene that encodes a protein that functions in tumor suppression. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, and frameshift deletions and insertions are observed in cancers such as intestinal cancer, skin cancer, and stomach cancer.

PALB2 is altered in 1.82% of all cancers with lung adenocarcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, breast invasive ductal carcinoma, endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma, and bladder urothelial carcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

PALB2 GENIE Cases - Top Diseases

The most common alterations in PALB2 are PALB2 Mutation (1.52%), PALB2 Nonsense (0.18%), PALB2 Amplification (0.11%), PALB2 M296* (0.04%), and PALB2 Loss (0.04%) [3].
