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

This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 836 of the PALB2 protein (p.Val836Ile). This variant is present in population databases (rs536644825, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) syndrome (PMID: 33128190, 35264596, 35610400, 35980532, 37937776). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 231442). 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:Likely benign

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

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. -

Variant summary: PALB2 c.2506G>A (p.Val836Ile) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.4e-05 in 250720 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.2506G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome, without strong evidence for causality (Tuli_2019, Gomes_2020, Gonzalez_2022, Guindalini_2022, Jensson_2023, Pereira_2022, de Oliveira_2022). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. 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: 33128190, 30635165, 35610400, 35264596, 37937776, 35980532, 35534704). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 231442). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
