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

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

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: This position, referring to a specific DNA site, is a probable branch point but is likely benign (scored 1 / 10, using the threshold of <=3). The score ranges from 0 to 10, with values ≤3 considered benign and >5 classified as pathogenic. Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.84).
