Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points: 0P and 2B. BP4_Moderate
The NM_024675.4(PALB2):c.2608G>A(p.Val870Ile) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000173 in 1,614,008 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 16/22 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. V870L) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Familial cancer of breast    Uncertain:5Benign:1 
This variant is considered benign. 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]. 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 sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 870 of the PALB2 protein (p.Val870Ile). This variant is present in population databases (rs376641234, gnomAD 0.05%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with ovarian, colorectal or an unspecified advanced cancer (PMID: 26315354, 28873162, 33298767). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142746). 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) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt PALB2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. 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 p.V870I variant (also known as c.2608G>A), located in coding exon 7 of the PALB2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2608. The valine at codon 870 is replaced by isoleucine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. In one study, this alteration was observed in 1/3,236 cases with invasive epithelial ovarian cancer and 0/3,431 controls (Ramus SJ et al. J. Natl. Cancer Inst., 2015 Nov;107). In another study, this variant was reported in 1/60,466 breast cancer cases and in 2/53,461 controls (Dorling et al. N Engl J Med 2021 02;384:428-439). This variant was identified in 3/341 Mexican women who identify as Ashkenazi Jewish (Díaz-Velásquez CE et al. Front Genet, 2023 Feb;14:1094260). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

not specified    Uncertain:2 
Variant summary: PALB2 c.2608G>A (p.Val870Ile) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the WD40 domain (IPR031920) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.8e-05 in 251484 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.2608G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Breast Cancer but also in at-least three individuals from a general population (Ramus_2015, Marks_2021, Diaz-Velasquez_2023). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Breast 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: 36845387, 33298767, 26315354). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142746). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
