The variant received -7 classification points (ACMG Germline Pathogenicity v2019). PM2BP4_StrongBP6_StrongBP7

The NM_024675.4(PALB2):c.3300T>C (p.Thr1100Thr) variant causes a synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant is absent from the gnomAD population database at sites with sufficient sequencing coverage. In-silico predictor (BayesDel (noAF)) classifies this variant as likely benign. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Benign/Likely Benign (★★).

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.

PALB2-AS1 (HGNC:58305): ()

Classification according to ACMG Germline Pathogenicity v2019

Specifications for PALB2 are available in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry and recommended for reference when assigning criteria.

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -7 points.

Apply	Criterion Code & Title / Strength	Strength	Rationale / Clinical Context
	PM2Absent/extremely low in population databases		Absent from gnomAD (AD/XL gene) — PM2; Absent from gnomAD at well-covered site (MOI: AD+AR) (base 0.0001, raised to 0.000208 by highest known P/LP ClinVar AF 0.000208) — PM2 moderate.
	BP4Computational evidence suggests no impact		Computational evidence supports benign — no pathogenic computational or splicing signal (BP4); Splicing verdict: benign (Strong).; Germline computational verdict: benign (Strong).
	BP6Reputable source reports benign		ClinVar 2-star benign — strong (BP6); ClinVar germline classification: Benign/Likely Benign, 2 star(s).
	BP7Synonymous variant, no splicing impact		Synonymous variant at non-conserved position with no predicted splicing impact (BP7); Synonymous at non-conserved position, no splicing concern — benign (BP7).
