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.

Benign:4

Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Dec 30, 2014	This alteration is classified as 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. -

Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00048 in 251452 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0059 within the East Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within East Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 38 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in PALB2 causing Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome phenotype (0.00016), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of East Asian origin. c.1492G>T has been reported in the literature as a non-specific variant in individuals affected with a variety of cancers (example, Nakagomi_2015, Phuah_2013). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. At-least one co-occurrence with another pathogenic variant(s) has been observed at our laboratory (APC c.3184_3187delCAAA, p.Gln1062ValfsX63), providing additional supporting evidence for a benign role. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Ten clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and a majority consensus of likely benign (n=6)/benign (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as likely benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of likely benign for this disease. -

The PALB2 p.Asp498Tyr variant was identified in 133 of 21516 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.006) from individuals or families with breast or ovarian cancer and was present in 397 of 51832 control chromosomes (frequency: 0.008) from healthy individuals (Momozawa 2018, Phuah 2013, Rashid 2018, Tung 2015). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs75023630) as "With Uncertain significance, other allele", ClinVar (classified as benign by Invitae and Ambry Genetics; as likely benign by four submitters; as uncertain significance by two submitters), and LOVD 3.0 (6x as benign or likely benign). The variant was identified in control databases in 131 of 277200 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0005 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: Other in 1 of 6462 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002), East Asian in 118 of 18868 chromosomes (freq: 0.006), and South Asian in 12 of 30782 chromosomes (freq: 0.0004), while the variant was not observed in the African, Latino, European, Ashkenazi Jewish, and Finnish, populations. The p.Asp498 residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 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 although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. -
