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.

Familial cancer of breast

Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Dec 04, 2023	This sequence change falls in intron 8 of the PALB2 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the PALB2 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (rs570455216, gnomAD 0.03%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 34846068). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 530057). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. 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. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome

Uncertain:1Benign:1

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Dec 22, 2020	This variant causes a G>A nucleotide substitution at the +5 position of intron 8 of the PALB2 gene. Splice site prediction tools are inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on RNA splicing. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has been identified in 6/250218 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Sep 06, 2022	This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

Jun 19, 2024

The PALB2 c.2834+5G>A variant is predicted to interfere with splicing. This variant has been reported in an individual with breast cancer (Valenzuela-Palomo et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 34846068). This variant is reported in 0.027% of alleles in individuals of East Asian descent in gnomAD and has conflicting interpretations of pathogenicity, ranging from likely benign to uncertain, in the ClinVar database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/530057/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
