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 variant is denoted PALB2 c.2053A>C at the cDNA level, p.Lys685Gln (K685Q) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Lysine to a Glutamine (AAA>CAA). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. PALB2 Lys685Gln was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Lysine and Glutamine differ in some properties, this is considered a semi-conservative amino acid substitution. PALB2 Lys685Gln occurs at a position that is not conserved and is not located in a known functional domain (UniProt). In silico analyses predict that this variant is unlikely to alter protein structure or function. Based on currently available information, it is unclear whether PALB2 Lys685Gln is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be 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.

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 685 of the PALB2 protein (p.Lys685Gln). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.006%). 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: 245754). 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.
