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.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthDec 21, 2018- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsSep 28, 2022The p.D161H variant (also known as c.481G>C), located in coding exon 4 of the PALB2 gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 481. The aspartic acid at codon 161 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration was detected in 2/5589 German BRCA1/2-negative probands with breast cancer (Hauke J et al. Cancer Med, 2018 04;7:1349-1358). This amino acid position is poorly 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 testingGeneDxJul 25, 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 at least one individual with a personal and/or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (Hauke et al., 2018); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 20871615, 19369211, 29522266) -
Familial cancer of breast Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 19, 2023This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 161 of the PALB2 protein (p.Asp161His). This variant is present in population databases (rs769841151, gnomAD 0.003%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PALB2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 480258). 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 disruptive. 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. -
