Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -5 ACMG points: 0P and 5B. BP4_StrongBP6
The NM_024675.4(PALB2):c.400G>A(p.Asp134Asn) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000242 in 1,612,724 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 1 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 14/20 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. D134E) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Benign, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Myriad Genetics, Inc. | Mar 31, 2023 | This variant is considered benign. This variant is strongly associated with less severe personal and family histories of cancer, typical for individuals without pathogenic variants in this gene [PMID: 25085752]. This variant has been observed in trans with a known pathogenic variant in one or more individuals lacking clinical features consistent with gene-specific recessive disease. - |

Benign, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp | May 22, 2017 | Variant summary: The PALB2 c.400G>A (p.Asp134Asn) variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide and 5/5 in silico tools predict a benign outcome. However, these predictions have yet to be functionally assessed. This variant was found in 54/125366 control chromosomes, predominantly observed in the African cohort at a frequency of 0.004997 (52/10406). This frequency is about 32 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic PALB2 variant (0.0001563). Therefore, suggesting this is likely a benign polymorphism found primarily in population(s) of African origin. Multiple publications have cited the variant in affected individuals, however, with limited information (ie, lack of co-occurrence and/or cosegregation data). An internal LCA sample reports the variant to co-occur with a pathogenic PMS2 variant, c.2186_2187delTC (p.Leu729fs - classified as pathogenic by LCA). In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as "likely benign/benign." Taken together, this variant is classified as benign. - |
Likely benign, no assertion criteria provided | clinical testing | Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System | - | The PALB2 p.Asp134Asn variant was identified in 5 of 8290 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0006) from individuals or families with breast cancer or Lynch syndrome and was present in 1 of 4520 control chromosomes (frequency: 0.0003) from healthy individuals (Thompson 2015, Tung 2016, Yadav 2017, Yurgelun 2015, Zheng 2012). The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs139555085) as “With other allele”, ClinVar (classified as benign by Invitae, Ambry Genetics and Integrated Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America; as likely benign by GeneDx, Counsyl, Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano and Color; as uncertain significance by Cancer Genetics Laboratory/Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre; and as likely pathogenic by PALB2 database) and LOVD 3.0. The variant was also identified in control databases in 116 of 276502 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0004 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017), observed in the following populations: African in 110 of 24004 chromosomes (freq: 0.005, increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant), Latino in 5 of 34282 chromosomes (freq: 0.0001) and European in 1 of 126534 chromosomes (freq: 0.000008); it was not observed in the Other, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, Finnish, or South Asian populations. The p.Asp134 residue is not conserved in mammals and 5 of 5 computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood the Asn variant impacts the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 4 of 4 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. 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. - |
