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.

Significance: Benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

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. -

The PALB2 p.Glu814= variant was identified in 1 of 194 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.01) from individuals or families with breast cancer (Ding 2011). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs140776736) as â€šÃ„ÃºWith Likely benign alleleâ€šÃ„Ã¹, in ClinVar (classified as benign by GeneDx; as liklely benign by Ambry Genetics, Invitae, Color genomics; as uncertain significance by two clinical laboratories), Clinvitae, and LOVD 3.0 (as does not affect function). The variant was not identified in Cosmic, or the Zhejiang University Database. The variant was identified in control databases in 12 of 277244 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00004 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 1 of 24038 chromosomes (freq: 0.00004), Latino in 1 of 34420 chromosomes (freq: 0.00003), and European in 10 of 126724 chromosomes (freq: 0.0001), while the variant was not observed in the Other, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, Finnish, and South Asian populations. The p.Glu814= variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it does not result in a change of amino acid and is not located in a known consensus splice site. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 1 of 5 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. -
