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:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: PALB2 c.2258G>A (p.Arg753Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.1e-05 in 282886 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. The variant, c.2258G>A, has been reported in the literature in at least two individuals affected with breast cancer without strong evidence for causality (e.g., Dorling_2021, Guindalini_2022), however, the variant has also been found in several healthy controls (Bodian_2014, Momozawa_2018, Dorling_2021). In addition, a co-occurrence with another pathogenic variant has been observed at our laboratory (BRCA2 c.5130_5133delTGTA (p.Tyr1710X); internal LCA sample), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Nine other submitters have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant in ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, and classified the variant as likely benign (n=5) or VUS (n=4). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

Significance:Likely benign

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

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. -

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. -
