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.

Submissions by phenotype

Familial cancer of breast Uncertain:5
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingCentre for Mendelian Genomics, University Medical Centre LjubljanaNov 08, 2018This variant was classified as: Uncertain significance. The available evidence on this variant's pathogenicity is insufficient or conflicting. The following ACMG criteria were applied in classifying this variant: PM2,BP1,PP5. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 10, 2024This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 13 of the PALB2 protein (p.Glu13Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs373287455, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer, esophageal cancer, colorectal cancer or multifocal fibrosis in the pancreas (PMID: 21279724, 27616075, 28135145, 28767289). This missense change has been observed to co-occur in individuals with a different variant in PALB2 that has been determined to be pathogenic (Invitae), but the significance of this finding is unclear. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 182792). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. 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. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxJul 17, 2023Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Observed in individuals with breast, colorectal, renal, or esophageal cancer (Akbari et al., 2011; Decker et al., 2017; Kraus et al., 2017; Yurgelun et al., 2017; Hauke et al., 2018; Paduano et al., 2022); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 29522266, 21279724, 27616075, 28135145, 28767289, 20871615, 19369211, 28779002, 35886069) -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthDec 14, 2022This missense variant replaces glutamic acid with lysine at codon 13 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 been reported in individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 27616075, 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID PALB2_010575), squamous cell carcinoma (PMID: 21279724), colorectal cancer (PMID: 28135145) and kidney cancer (PMID: 35886069). This variant has also been reported in an unaffected control individual (PMID: 28767289). This variant has been identified in 1/247874 chromosomes 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsSep 27, 2022The p.E13K variant (also known as c.37G>A), located in coding exon 1 of the PALB2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 37. The glutamic acid at codon 13 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been reported in multiple familial breast/ovarian cancer patients (Kraus C et al. Int. J. Cancer, 2017 Jan;140:95-102; Decker B et al. J. Med. Genet., 2017 11;54:732-741; Hauke J et al. Cancer Med, 2018 04;7:1349-1358; Paduano F et al. Genes (Basel) 2022 Jul;13(7)), as well as one individual with multifocal fibrosis in pancreas (Shindo K et al. J. Clin. Oncol., 2017 Oct;35:3382-3390). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
