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 Benign. Variant got -11 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.8).
• BP6: Variant 16-23635304-T-G is Benign according to our data. Variant chr16-23635304-T-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_benign]. Clinvar id is 225858.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=-0.939 with no splicing effect.

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Jan 05, 2016	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. -

The PALB2 p.Arg414= variant was identified in an Australian population based study in 1 of 3996 chromosomes from healthy individuals (frequency: 0.000) and was not identified in 3992 proband chromosomes from individuals with breast or ovarian cancer (Thompson_2015_26283626). The variant was also identified in ClinVar (classified likely benign by GeneDx and Ambry Genetics), Clinvitae (2x) and in control databases in 1 of 245888 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000004 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). Breakdown of the observations by population include European Non-Finnish in 1 of 111408 chromosomes (freq: 0.000009), while not observed in the African, Other, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, European Finnish, and South Asian populations. The variant was not identified in Cosmic, MutDB, LOVD 3.0, or Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database. The p.Arg414= 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 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. -
