Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -4 ACMG points: 2P and 6B. PM2 BP4_Strong BP6 BP7

The NM_024675.4(PALB2):​c.2202T>C​(p.Thr734=) variant causes a synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. T734T) has been classified as Likely benign.

• Frequency: Genomes: not found (cov: 32)
• Consequence: PALB2 NM_024675.4 synonymous
• Clinical Significance: Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity criteria provided, conflicting classifications U:1 B:2
• Conservation: PhyloP100: 0.657

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 Likely_benign. Variant got -4 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.48).
• BP6: Variant 16-23629952-A-G is Benign according to our data. Variant chr16-23629952-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 703019.We mark this variant Likely_benign, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_benign=2, Uncertain_significance=1}.
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=0.657 with no splicing effect.

To the best of our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the published literature. It also has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Analysis of this variant using software algorithms for the prediction of the effect of nucleotide changes on splicing yielded predictions that this variant does not affect PALB2 mRNA splicing . Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

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. -
