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.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:3

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Dec 07, 2024	The p.P615S variant (also known as c.1843C>T), located in coding exon 5 of the PALB2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1843. The proline at codon 615 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been reported in at least one breast cancer patient in a study of 13087 breast cancer cases and 5488 control individuals in the UK (Decker B et al. J Med Genet, 2017 11;54:732-741). This variant was also observed in 1/3251 individuals who met eligibility criteria for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (Lerner-Ellis J et al. J Cancer Res Clin Oncol, 2021 Mar;147:871-879). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

The PALB2 p.Pro615Ser variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the dbSNP, Cosmic, MutDB, LOVD 3.0, Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database, databases. The variant was identified in ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by Invitae), Clinvitae (classified as uncertain significance by Invitae), databases. The variant was not identified in the 1000 Genomes Project, the NHLBI GO Exome Sequencing Project or the Exome Aggregation Consortium (August 8th 2016) control databases. The p.Pro615 residue is conserved across mammals and other organisms, and four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) suggest that the variant may impact the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 1 of 5 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

This sequence change replaces proline with serine at codon 615 of the PALB2 protein (p.Pro615Ser). The proline residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between proline and serine. 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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with PALB2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 410120). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). -
