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.

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The PALB2 c.2568A>C; p.Gln856His variant (rs587781708), to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature but is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 141385). This variant is absent from the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. Computational analyses predict that this variant is neutral (REVEL: 0.034). Due to limited information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is denoted PALB2 c.2568A>C at the cDNA level, p.Gln856His (Q856H) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Glutamine to a Histidine (CAA>CAC). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. PALB2 Gln856His was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, suggesting it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Glutamine and Histidine differ in some properties, this is considered a semi-conservative amino acid substitution. PALB2 Gln856His occurs at a position that is not conserved and is located in the first WD repeat, a region of interaction with RAD51, BRCA2 and POLH, and in the region required for POLH DNA synthesis stimulation (Uniprot). In silico analyses predict that this variant is unlikely to alter protein structure or function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether PALB2 Gln856His is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The variant has not been reported in the published literature. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0000066 (1/152194 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is uninformative in 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 benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glutamine, which is neutral and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 856 of the PALB2 protein (p.Gln856His). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PALB2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 141385). 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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Q856H variant (also known as c.2568A>C), located in coding exon 6 of the PALB2 gene, results from an A to C substitution at nucleotide position 2568. The glutamine at codon 856 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is well 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. -
