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.

Variant summary: PALB2 c.2067G>A alters a non-conserved nucleotide resulting in a synonymous change. 5/5 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant was observed with an allele frequency of 3.2e-05 in 246256 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The observed variant frequency within East Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 2-folds higher than the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in PALB2 causing Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer phenotype (0.00016), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of East Asian origin. The variant, c.2067G>A, has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (Phuah_2013, Thompson_2015). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Multiple ClinVar submissions from clinical diagnostic laboratories (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as "likely benign/benign." Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

Significance:Likely benign

Review Status:no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method:clinical testing

The PALB2 p.Ser689= variant was identified in 14 of 16340 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0009) from individuals or families with breast cancer and was present in 36 of 22482 control chromosomes (frequency: 0.002) from healthy individuals (Momozawa 2018, Phuah 2013, Thompson 2015). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs371149159) as "With Likely benign, other allele", ClinVar (classified as benign by Invitae; as likely benign by Ambry Genetics, GeneDx, and three other submitters), and in LOVD 3.0 (4X). The variant was identified in control databases in 8 of 246256 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00003 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: European in 1 of 111712 chromosomes (freq: 0.000009), East Asian in 6 of 17248 chromosomes (freq: 0.0004), and South Asian in 1 of 30782 chromosomes (freq: 0.00003); it was not observed in the African, Other, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, and Finnish, populations. The p.Ser689= variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it does not result in a change of amino acid and is not located in a known consensus splice site. In addition, in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. -
