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

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 1 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.3350428).

This variant is denoted PALB2 c.3421G>A at the cDNA level, p.Asp1141Asn (D1141N) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Aspartic Acid to an Asparagine (GAC>AAC). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. PALB2 Asp1141Asn was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, suggesting it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Aspartic Acid and Asparagine differ in some properties, this is considered a semi-conservative amino acid substitution. PALB2 Asp1141Asn occurs at a position that is conserved in mammals and is located within the region required for POLH DNA synthesis stimulation and for interaction with RAD51D, BRCA2 and POLH. In silico analyses predict that this variant is probably damaging to protein structure and function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether PALB2 Asp1141Asn is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1141 of the PALB2 protein (p.Asp1141Asn). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PALB2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 422752). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C15". The asparagine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
