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.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -3 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.93).
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=-1.37 with no splicing effect.

This sequence change affects codon 790 of the PALB2 mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the PALB2 protein. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a PALB2-related disease. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may alter RNA splicing, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. In summary, this is a novel silent change with uncertain impact on splicing. It has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
