Genes affected
PALB2 (HGNC:26144): (partner and localizer of BRCA2) This gene encodes a protein that may function in tumor suppression. This protein binds to and colocalizes with the breast cancer 2 early onset protein (BRCA2) in nuclear foci and likely permits the stable intranuclear localization and accumulation of BRCA2.

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpApr 18, 2016Variant summary: The c.3495G>A variant affects a non-conserved nucleotide, resulting in no amino acid change. One in-silico tool predicts damaging outcome for this variant. 5/5 programs in Alamut predict that this variant does not affect normal splicing, however, it may strengthen a cryptic 5' splicing donor site. ESE finder predicts that this variant may affect multiple ESE sites. However, these predictions are not confirmed by experimental studies. This variant is found in 89/125390 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0007098, which is about 5 times of the maximal expected frequency of a pathogenic allele (0.0001563), suggesting this variant is benign. In addition, mutliple clinical laboratories/reputable databases/literatures classified this variant as benign/polymorphism. Taken together, this variant was classified as benign. -

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxDec 25, 2013This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -
Fanconi anemia complementation group N Benign:2
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaApr 28, 2017This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases allowed determination this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -
Likely benign, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The PALB2 p.Ser1165Ser variant was identified in 19 of 8732 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.002) from individuals or families with breast or pancreatic cancer and was present in 11 of 4896 control chromosomes (frequency: 0.002) from healthy individuals (Papi_2010_19763884, Ding_2011_20927582, Bogdanova_2011_21165770, Hellebrand_2011_21618343, Nguyen-Dumont_2013_24206657, Thompson_2015_26283626, Aoude_2014_24949998, Zhen_2015_25356972). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs45439097) as “With other allele”, ClinVar (2x as benign by GeneDx, Invitae, 5x as likely benign by Ambry Genetics, Prevention Genetics, Illumina Clinical services, Quest Diagnostics, PALB2 database), Clinvitae (4x, as benign and likely benign by ClinVar), LOVD 3.0 (6x reported) and Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database (1x. The variant was not identified in Cosmic, MutDB, databases. The variant was identified in control databases in 192 of 277176 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0007 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). Breakdown of the observations by population include African in 29 of 24016 chromosomes (freq: 0.0012), other in 3 of 6464 chromosomes (freq: 0.0005), Latino in 11 of 34420 chromosomes (freq: 0.0003), European Non-Finnish in 149 of 126698 chromosomes (freq: 0.0012), while the variant was not observed in the Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, European Finnish, and South Asian populations. In addition the variant was identified by our laboratory in 1 individual with breast and skin cancer with a co-occurring pathogenic BRCA2 variant (c.8904delC p.Val2969CysfsX7), increasing the likelihood that the p.Ser1165Ser variant does not have clinical significance. The p.Ser1165Ser variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it does not result in a change of amino acid and is not located in a known consensus splice site. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. -

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingDepartment of Molecular Diagnostics, Institute of Oncology LjubljanaMay 15, 2022PALB2:c.3495G>A is present in 0.070% in the large population studies (GnomAd). The deep exonic variant is predicted to create a de novo donor splice site in the last exon (exon 13) of PALB2 by in silico splicing tools. Functional RNA study has shown that the variant does not cause splicing aberration (PMID: 35806449). Therefore the variant was classified as likely benign (ACMG/AMP: BS3-Stand alone, BS1, PP3). -
