Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:3
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health | Nov 18, 2019 | This missense variant replaces serine with asparagine at codon 781 of the PALB2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has been identified in 2/251404 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. - |
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Ambry Genetics | Sep 15, 2023 | The p.S781N variant (also known as c.2342G>A), located in coding exon 5 of the PALB2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2342. The serine at codon 781 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. - |

not provided Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | GeneDx | Nov 19, 2015 | This variant is denoted PALB2 c.2342G>A at the cDNA level, p.Ser781Asn (S781N) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Serine to an Asparagine (AGC>AAC). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. PALB2 Ser781Asn was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Serine and Asparagine share similar properties, this is considered a conservative amino acid substitution. PALB2 Ser781Asn occurs at a position that is not conserved across species and is located in the region required for interaction with POLH and POLH DNA synthesis stimulation (UniProt). In silico analyses predict that this variant is unlikely to alter protein structure or function. Based on currently available information, it is unclear whether PALB2 Ser781Asn is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. - |
Malignant tumor of breast Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria provided | clinical testing | Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System | - | The PALB2 p.Ser781Asn variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in Cosmic, MutDB, LOVD 3.0, or Zhejiang University Database. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs761298847 as "With Uncertain significance allele") and in ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by GeneDx). The variant was identified in control databases in 2 of 246208 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000008 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in European population in 2 of 111692 chromosomes (freq: 0.00002), while the variant was not observed in the African, Other, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, Finnish, or South Asian populations. The p.Ser781 residue is not conserved in mammals and 5 of 5 computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and only 1 of 4 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. - |
Familial cancer of breast Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp | Dec 30, 2023 | This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 781 of the PALB2 protein (p.Ser781Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs761298847, gnomAD 0.002%). 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: 245658). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt PALB2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. 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. - |
