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.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome

Uncertain:2Benign:1

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Feb 01, 2024	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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Nov 18, 2021	This missense variant replaces alanine with glycine at codon 188 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. In a breast cancer case-control study, this variant was identified in 1/60465 cases and 0/53461 controls (PMID: 33471991 - Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID PALB2_011162). This variant has been identified in 3/251426 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. -

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 188 of the PALB2 protein (p.Ala188Gly). This variant is present in population databases (rs587781975, gnomAD 0.002%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with unspecified cancer and breast cancer (PMID: 28873162, 35886069). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 141738). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant¬†is likely to be tolerated. 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. -
