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.

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 272 of the PALB2 protein (p.Glu272Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs515726127, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 21356067, 34284872). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 126772). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function outputs the following: PolyPhen-2: "Benign". The lysine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. 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. -

Significance:Benign

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is considered benign. This variant is strongly associated with less severe personal and family histories of cancer, typical for individuals without pathogenic variants in this gene [PMID: 25085752]. Homozygosity for this variant has been confirmed in one or more individuals lacking clinical features consistent with gene-specific recessive disease, indicating that this variant is unlikely to be pathogenic. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.E272K variant (also known as c.814G>A), located in coding exon 4 of the PALB2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 814. The glutamic acid at codon 272 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant has been reported in the literature in cohorts of Finnish and Spanish breast cancer patients (Kuusisto KM et al. Breast Cancer Res. 2011 Feb;13:R20; Velázquez C et al. Breast. 2019 Feb;43:91-96). This variant was reported in 3/60,466 breast cancer cases and in 2/53,461 controls (Dorling et al. N Engl J Med. 2021 02;384:428-439). This variant was also detected in a cohort of 1280 consecutive cancer patients with breast and/or ovarian cancer (HBOC) (Butz H et al. Cancers (Basel), 2023 Aug;15). 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. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

BP1 c.814G>A, located in exon 4 of the PALB2 gene, is predicted to result in the substitution of glutamic acid by lysine at codon 272, p.(Glu272Lys). The SpliceAI algorithm predicts no significant impact on splicing and there is a very low likelihood that missense variants are pathogenic in PALB2 (BP1). This variant is found in 7/268282 alleles at a frequency of 0.0026% in the gnomAD v2.1.1 database, non-cancer dataset. To our knowledge, neither relevant clinical data nor well-stablished functional studies have been reported for this variant. It has been reported in the ClinVar database (8x uncertain significance) and in the LOVD database (2x likely benign, 2x uncertain significance). Based on the currently available information, c.814G>A is classified as an uncertain significance variant according to ClinGen-PALB2 Guidelines version v1.0.0. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces glutamic acid with lysine at codon 272 of the PALB2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in at least three individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 21356067, 30521987, 37686625, 38061684), and it has been detected in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in 3/60466 cases and 2/53461 unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID PALB2_010049). This variant has been identified in 7/282818 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The PALB2 c.814G>A (p.Glu272Lys) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMIDs: 21356067 (2011), 30521987 (2019), 33471991 (2021), 37686625 (2023)), and in reportedly healthy individuals (PMID: 33471991 (2021)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00012 (3/25118 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. 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. -
