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.

PALB2 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 0 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.23689651).

This variant is denoted PALB2 c.3436C>G at the cDNA level, p.Gln1146Glu (Q1146E) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Glutamine to a Glutamic Acid (CAG>GAG). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. PALB2 Gln1146Glu was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, suggesting it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Glutamine and Glutamic Acid differ in some properties, this is considered a semi-conservative amino acid substitution. PALB2 Gln1146Glu occurs at a position that is not conserved and is located within the 6th WD repeat and the region of interaction with POLH, RAD51, BRCA2 and the region required for POLH DNA synthesis stimulation (UniProt). In silico analyses predict that this variant is unlikely to alter protein structure or function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether PALB2 Gln1146Glu is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 246373). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PALB2-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces glutamine, which is neutral and polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 1146 of the PALB2 protein (p.Gln1146Glu). -
