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.

PALB2 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -2 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.061179966).

The p.F236V variant (also known as c.706T>G), located in coding exon 4 of the PALB2 gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 706. The phenylalanine at codon 236 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is poorly 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. -

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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 826817). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PALB2-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.01%). This sequence change replaces phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 236 of the PALB2 protein (p.Phe236Val). -
