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.

The PALB2 c.3428T>A (p.Leu1143His) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 20852946 (2010), 22692731 (2012), 24556926 (2014), 25186627 (2015), 26283626 (2015), 26315354 (2015), 26564480 (2015), 26898890 (2016), 28779002 (2017), 31206626 (2019), 31512090 (2019), 32658311 (2021), 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared)), 33558524 (2021), 33980423 (2021), 36605468 (2023)), pancreatic cancer (PMID: 25479140 (2015)), pediatric low-grade gliomas (PMID: 33320972 (2020)), and colorectal cancer (PMID: 33630411 (2021)). This variant has also been identified in reportedly healthy individuals (PMID: 24556926 (2014), 26315354 (2015), 28779002 (2017), 32658311 (2021), 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared)). A functional study using mammalian cells indicated this variant caused a reduction in DNA repair activity, but not resistance to cisplatin, a DNA cross linking agent (PMID: 31757951 (2019)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00026 (34/129188 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

This variant is considered benign. Homozygosity for this variant has been confirmed in one or more individuals lacking clinical features consistent with gene-specific recessive disease, indicating that this variant is unlikely to be pathogenic. This variant is strongly associated with less severe personal and family histories of cancer, typical for individuals without pathogenic variants in this gene [PMID: 25085752]. -

DNA sequence analysis of the PALB2 gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.3428T>A, in exon 13 that results in an amino acid change, p.Leu1143His. This sequence change has been described in gnomAD with a low population frequency of 0.016% (dbSNP rs62625284). The p.Leu1143His change affects a moderately conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the PALB2 protein that is \ known to be functional. In-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL) provide contradictory results for the p.Leu1143His substitution. This sequence change has been observed in multiple individuals with breast, ovarian, or pancreatic cancer, but has also been observed in normal controls (PMID: 27878467; 25479140; 26315354; 26283626; 21618343). Another variant affecting the same codon, p.Leu1143Pro has been reported in an individual with bilateral breast cancer. Functional studies demonstrated that the p.Leu143Pro disrupted the PALB2-RAD51C-BRCA2 complex indicating the functional importance of the Leu1143 residue (PMID:24141787, PMID:21618343). Due to the lack of sufficient evidences, the clinical significance of the p.Leu1143His change remains unknown at this time -

Variant summary: PALB2 c.3428T>A (p.Leu1143His) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the partner and localiser of BRCA2, WD40 domain (IPR031920) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00017 in 251470 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00027 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within Non-Finnish European control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 2-fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in PALB2 causing Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome phenotype (0.00016). c.3428T>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (e.g. Balia_2010, Damiola_2015, Ramus_2015, Thompson_2015, Bonache_2018, Scarpitta_2019, Weitzel_2019, Akcay_2021, Dorling_2021, Moradian_2021, Solmaz_2021, Subasioglu_2023), but it was also detected in unaffected controls (e.g. Akcay_2021, Dorling_2021). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. Co-occurrences with other pathogenic variants have been reported (SDHB c.269G>A, p.Arg90Gln; MLH1 c.676C>T, p.Arg226X; Ferrer-Avargues_2021, Moradian_2021). Experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function demonstrated the variant had 70% homologous recombination efficiency compared to wild-type and similar relative resistance to PARPi with wild-type (Boonen_2020). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 32658311, 20852946, 30306255, 33195396, 22692731, 26564480, 33471991, 33630411, 33558524, 26315354, 31512090, 33980423, 26283626, 31206626, 36605468). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 126740). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

The PALB2 c.3428T>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Leu1143His. This variant has been reported in patients with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Catucci et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22692731; Balia et al. 2010. PubMed ID: 20852946; Moradian et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 33558524; Scarpitta et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31512090; Hellebrand et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21618343). This variant is reported in 0.026% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD, and it is listed in ClinVar with conflicting interpretations of uncertain and likely benign (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/126740/). Functional studies have been inconclusive on the impact of this variant on protein function (Park et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24141787; Boonen et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31757951). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

ACMG Guidelines 2015 criteria This variant is in exon 8 of the PALB2 gene, which is involved in repairing double-strand DNA breaks in WD40 repeat-like (V872- 1185 aa) domain, which serves as platforms for the assembly of protein complexes (e.g., BRCA1 / RAD51) or mediators of transient interplay among other proteins. This variant is in a hotspot of 12 pathogenic nonsense and frameshift variants, including one mutation (i.e., c.3426dupA; p.Leu1143Thrfs) at the same position (Source ClinVar) (PM1 Pathogenic Moderate). It has been reported in several cancers including breast cancers (PMID: 27878467; 25479140; 26315354; 26283626; 21618343). Furthermore, it has been experimentally shown that this missense change modestly reduces DNA double-stranded break-induced homologous recombination, affects the PALB2 protein interaction with RAD51C, XRCC3 and BRCA2 proteins and moderately increases cellular sensitivity to ionizing radiation (PMID: 24141787). 6 pathogenic predictions from EIGEN, FATHMM-MKL, M-CAP, MutationAssessor, MutationTaster and SIFT vs 5 benign predictions from DANN, DEOGEN2, MVP, PrimateAI and REVEL support its deleterious effect (PP3 Pathogenic Supporting). This variant was found in a 46-years old female with bilateral breast cancer and no reported family history of cancer. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in the disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
