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.

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 5 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.0168492 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 6.8, offset of 6, new splice context is: ttttcttcttccggttaaAGgag. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 16-23638131-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-23638131-T-C is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 2677460.
