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.

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsSep 05, 2014This 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. -

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxDec 31, 2013This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -
Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJan 15, 2019Variant summary: PALB2 c.1881G>T alters a non-conserved nucleotide resulting in a synonymous change. 5/5 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00013 in 246196 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0028 within the Ashkenazi Jewish subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within Ashkenazi Jewish control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 18-fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in PALB2 causing Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer phenotype (0.00016), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of Ashkenazi Jewish origin. c.1881G>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (Casadei_2011, Catucci_2012, Hofstatter_2011) with limited information (ie, lack of co-occurrence and cosegregation data). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as benign/likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

Carcinoma of colon Benign:1
Likely benign, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The PALB2 p.Val627Val variant was identified in 2 of 378 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.005) from individuals or families with breast cancer (Hofstatter_2011_21365267, Catucci_2012_22692731). The variant was also identified in the following databases: dbSNP (ID: rs139362268) as “With Likely benign allele” ,ClinVar (2x as benign by GeneDx, Invitae, 4x as likely benign by Ambry Genetics, Color Genomics, Quest Diagnostics, Palb2 database), Clinvitae (3x as benign and likely benign by ClinVar), LOVD 3.0 (3x "probably does not affect function"). The variant was not identified in Cosmic, MutDB and Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database. The variant was identified in control databases in 32 of 246196 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00013 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). Breakdown of the observations by population include other in 1 of 5482 chromosomes (freq: 0.00018), European Non-Finnish in 3 of 111674 chromosomes (freq: 0.00003), Ashkenazi Jewish in 28 of 9848 chromosomes (freq: 0.003), while the variant was not observed in the African, Latino, East Asian, European Finnish, and South Asian populations. The p.Val627Val variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it does not result in a change of amino acid and is not located in a known consensus splice site. In addition, in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) 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. -
