Submissions by phenotype
not specified Benign:6Other:1
- -
- -
- -
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. -

Familial cancer of breast Benign:6
- -
This variant is considered benign. This variant is strongly associated with less severe personal and family histories of cancer, typical for individuals without pathogenic variants in this gene [PMID: 25085752]. This variant has been observed at a population frequency that is significantly greater than expected given the associated disease prevalence and penetrance. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Benign:5

- -
This alteration is classified as 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. -

Fanconi anemia complementation group N Benign:1
This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease. -

The PALB2 p.Gly998Glu variant was identified in 268 of 12272 proband chromosomes (freq 0.022) in multinational cohorts of BRCA1 and BRCA2 negative breast and breast-ovarian cancer families, male breast cancer cases, women with breast cancer who had a personal or family history of pancreatic cancer, families with 2 or more prostate cancer cases, unselected breast and ovarian cancers, and American hereditary prostate cancer families; and was identified in 129 of 7352 control chromosomes (freq. 0.018) (Balia 2010, Blanco 2012, Bogdanova 2011, Cao 2009, Catucci 2014, Ding 2011, Downs 2015 , Garcia 2009, Guenard 2010, Hofstatter 2011, Kuusisto 2011, Leyton 2015 , Pakkanen 2009, Prokofyeva 2012, Hellebrand 2011, Rahman 2007, Sauty de Chalon 2010, Silvestri 2010, Sluiter 2009, Teo 2013, Wong 2011, Tischkowitz 2008, Zheng 2012). Blanco et al (2012) identified the variant in 6 index cases, which also had 5 other PALB2 variants, with co-segregation analysis in one of the carriers suggesting that all 6 variants constituted a haplotype. In a study looking at BRCA1 positive and BRCA negative families, the PALB2 variant was found in 2 families who carried different BRCA1 mutations (332-11T-Gins59-ter75, and 300Cys-Gly (T-G)) (Downs 2015 ). In their study, Rahman et al (2007) found no overall evidence that PALB2 missense variants confer susceptibility to breast cancer, with 23% affected individuals and 24% controls carrying at least one nonsynonymous missense variant. The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs45551636) as “other” allele, Clinvitae database (classifications benign, likely benign, conflicting interpretations of pathogenicity), Fanconi Anemia Mutation Database (LOVD), the ClinVar database (classifications benign: Invitae, Ambry Genetics, Prevention Genetics, Counsyl, GeneDx, Pathway Genomics, PALB2 database , likely benign: Vantari Genetics, Cancer Genetics Laboratory, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Illumina Clinical Services Laboratory , and not provided: ITMI submitters). The variant was identified in control databases in 1917 of 121404 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.01579 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Consortium Feb 27, 2017). The variant was identified in the following populations at a frequency greater than 1%: Ashkenazi Jewish* in 237 of 10150 chromosomes (freq: 0.023), European (Non-Finnish) in 2781 of 126704 chromosomes (freq: 0.022), Other in 129 of 6466 chromosomes (freq: 0.02), European (Finnish) in 481 of 25784 chromosomes (freq: 0.019), Latino in 471 of 34418 chromosomes (freq: 0.014). The p.Gly998 residue is conserved across mammals and other organisms, and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) suggest that the variant may impact the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a 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. -
