Genetic Variant PALB2:p.Gly1068Gly (chr16-23608010-C-T) – ACMG Classification: Benign (-11 pts)

Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -11 ACMG points: 2P and 13B. PM2BP4_StrongBP6_Very_StrongBP7

The NM_024675.4(PALB2):c.3204G>A(p.Gly1068Gly) variant causes a splice region, synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000031 in 1,613,386 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 1/1 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely benign (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. G1068G) has been classified as Likely benign.

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.
