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.

Submissions by phenotype

not provided Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingQuest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan CapistranoAug 30, 2023In the published literature, this variant has been reported in individuals with breast cancer (PMID: 28825143 (2017), 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/PALB2)) as well as in an unaffected individual (PMID: 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/PALB2)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000008 (2/251302 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxAug 22, 2023Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Observed in individuals with familial breast cancer (Zhang et al., 2017); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 19369211, 35205366, 36292577, 28825143) -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1Benign:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthDec 06, 2023This missense variant replaces valine with isoleucine at codon 221 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 an individual affected with breast cancer (PMID: 28825143) and in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in 2/60466 cases and 1/53461 unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID PALB2_011145). This variant has been identified in 2/251302 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. -
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMar 11, 2019This 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. -
Familial cancer of breast Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpOct 16, 2023This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 221 of the PALB2 protein (p.Val221Ile). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 28825143). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 410168). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Not Available"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Not Available". The isoleucine 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. -
