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 p.G881S variant (also known as c.2641G>A), located in coding exon 7 of the PALB2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2641. The glycine at codon 881 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant was identified in 1/727 pancreatic cancer probands with positive family history and classified as a variant of uncertain significance by the study authors (Zhen DB et al. Genet. Med., 2015 Jul;17:569-77). This alteration has also been reported in at least one breast cancer patient in a study of 13087 breast cancer cases and 5488 control individuals in the UK (Decker B et al. J Med Genet, 2017 11;54:732-741). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

This missense variant replaces glycine with serine at codon 881 of the PALB2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has now shown significant association with breast cancer in case-control studies: In one study, this variant was observed in 1/7051 female cases and 2/11241 female controls, as well as in 0/53 male cases and 3/12490 male controls (PMID: 30287823). In a meta-analysis of breast cancer case-control studies, this variant was reported in 4/60462 cases and 3/53458 controls (PMID: 33471991). This variant has been reported in an individual with pancreatic cancer (PMID: 25356972), as well as in 0/1005 cases and 5/23705 controls in a pancreatic cancer case-control study (PMID: 32980694). This variant has been identified in 7/282896 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. -

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 881 of the PALB2 protein (p.Gly881Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs766315705, gnomAD 0.005%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with pancreatic and breast cancer (PMID: 25356972, 30287823). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 460951). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on PALB2 protein function. 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. -

Variant summary: PALB2 c.2641G>A (p.Gly881Ser) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 251490 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.2641G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with prostate Cancer and other types of cancer. These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Prostate Cancer. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 28726808, 36898365, 26689913, 30287823, 25356972). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 460951). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
