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.

Review Status:no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method:clinical testing

The PALB2 p.Asp255= variant was identified in 2 of 2036 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.001) from individuals or families with breast or ovarian cancer and was present in 1 of 2168 control chromosomes (frequency: 0.0005) from healthy individuals (Garcia 2009, Rahman 2007). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs45465299) as "With other allele", ClinVar (classified as likely benign by Invitae, Ambry Genetics, GeneDx and five other submitters), and in LOVD 3.0 (2X ). The variant was identified in control databases in 22 of 277172 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00008 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: European in 22 of 126672 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002), while the variant was not observed in the African, Other, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, Finnish, and South Asian populations. The p.Asp255= 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. In addition, in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) 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. -

Significance:Likely benign

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: The PALB2 c.765T>C (p.Asp255Asp) variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide, resulting in a synonymous change. Mutation taster predicts a benign outcome for this substitution along with 5/5 in silico tools via Alamut predicting the variant not to have an impact on normal splicing. This variant was found in 17/124694 control chromosomes, predominantly observed in the European (Non-Finnish) subpopulation at a frequency of 0.0002248 (15/66738). This slightly exceeds the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic PALB2 variant (0.0001563), suggesting this is likely a benign polymorphism found primarily in the populations of European (Non-Finnish) origin. The variant was reported in breast cancer patients, however without strong evidence such as co-segregation; therefore these reports do not allow the establishment of a cause effect relationship between the variant and the disease. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as likely benign. Taken together, this variant is classified as Likely Benign. -

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. -
