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.

Familial cancer of breast Uncertain:3
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJun 09, 2022This 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 cancer (PMID: 21356067). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 126772). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". 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. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthSep 06, 2022This 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 (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 two individuals affected with breast or ovarian cancer and in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in 3/60466 cases and 2/53461 unaffected individuals (PMID: 21356067, 30521987, 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsSep 27, 2023The 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; Vel&aacute;zquez 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. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingQuest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan CapistranoJul 11, 2023In the published literature, this variant has been reported in individuals with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 21356067 (2011), 30521987 (2019), 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (https://databases.lovd.nl/shared/variants/PALB2)). It has also been reported in unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (https://databases.lovd.nl/shared/variants/PALB2)). 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. -
