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 -2 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.05078572).

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

It has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). In the published literature, the variant has been reported in individuals with breast cancer as well as in unaffected individuals (PMID: 30287823 (2018)). Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces histidine with arginine at codon 593 of the PALB2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in a breast cancer case-control study in 3/7051 female cases and in 10/11241 unaffected females with OR=0.3984 (95% CI 0.1-1.5) and absent in male cases and in 3/12490 unaffected males (PMID: 30287823). This variant also has been reported in 5/7636 prostate cancer cases and 3/12366 unaffected individuals and in 0/1005 pancreatic cancer cases and 13/23705 unaffected individuals (PMID: 31214711, 32980694). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Although there is a suspicion that this variant may not be associated with disease, additional studies are necessary to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.H593R variant (also known as c.1778A>G), located in coding exon 5 of the PALB2 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 1778. The histidine at codon 593 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration was observed with an allele frequency of 0.00043 in 7,051 unselected female breast cancer patients and was observed with an allele frequency of 0.00089 in 11,241 female controls of Japanese ancestry. In addition, it was not observed in unselected male breast cancer patients and was observed with an allele frequency of 0.0002 in 12490 male controls of Japanese ancestry (Momozawa Y et al. Nat Commun, 2018 10;9:4083). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 593 of the PALB2 protein (p.His593Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 30287823, 35218119). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 439231). 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. -
