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.

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1138 of the PALB2 protein (p.Ala1138Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs577651839, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with prostate cancer (PMID: 37436117). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 231889). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. 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. -

The PALB2 c.3412G>A (p.Ala1138Thr) variant has been reported in the published literature in an individual with breast cancer (PMID: 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/PALB2)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00014 (5/34592 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. -

The p.A1138T variant (also known as c.3412G>A), located in coding exon 13 of the PALB2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 3412. The alanine at codon 1138 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
