Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received -1 ACMG points: 0P and 1B. BP1

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.109C>A variant in PALB2 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of arginine by serine at amino acid 37 (p.Arg37Ser). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.00012 in the African population (PM2_Supporting, BS1, and BA1 are not met). This variant is functional in multiple different protein assays (PMID:31636395); however due to a lack of positive missense controls with known clinical impact, these protein assays do not meet the requirements for use by the HBOP VCEP. PALB2, in which the variant was identified, is defined by the HBOP VCEP as a gene for which primarily truncating variants are known to cause disease. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as a variant of uncertain significance for autosomal dominant hereditary breast and pancreatic cancer and autosomal recessive FANCN based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied as specified by the HBOP VCEP.

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.
