Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 0 ACMG points: 1P and 1B. BP1 PM2_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.871G>A variant in PALB2 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of alanine by threonine at amino acid 291 (p.Ala291Thr). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1. PALB2, in which the variant was identified, is defined by the HBOP VCEP as a gene for which primarily truncating variants are known to cause disease. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance for autosomal dominant hereditary breast and pancreatic cancer and autosomal recessive FANCN based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the HBOP VCEP.

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.

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 291 of the PALB2 protein (p.Ala291Thr). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). 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: 241572). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function outputs the following: PolyPhen-2: "Benign". The threonine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. 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. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: reviewed by expert panel

Collection Method: curation

The c.871G>A variant in PALB2 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of alanine by threonine at amino acid 291 (p.Ala291Thr). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1. PALB2, in which the variant was identified, is defined by the HBOP VCEP as a gene for which primarily truncating variants are known to cause disease. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance for autosomal dominant hereditary breast and pancreatic cancer and autosomal recessive FANCN based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the HBOP VCEP.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1 Benign:1

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces alanine with threonine at codon 291 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). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with PALB2-related disorders in the literature. This variant has not been identified 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. -

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. -
