Observed in individuals with breast, ovarian, or cervical cancer (PMID: 24136930, 26283626, 33471991); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 26283626, 26315354, 24136930, 31600176, 33471991, Wei2020[article], 35038823, 35585550) -

The PALB2 c.1610C>T (p.Ser537Leu) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with breast cancer (PMID: 38153744 (2023), 33471991 (2021), 26283626 (2015), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/PALB2)) and cervical cancer (PMID: 35038823 (2022)). This variant has also been identified in a reportedly healthy individual (PMID: 26315354 (2015)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00011 (14/129178 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
Familial cancer of breast Uncertain:3

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 537 of the PALB2 protein (p.Ser537Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs142103232, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 26283626). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 182791). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt PALB2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. 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. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1Benign:1
The p.S537L variant (also known as c.1610C>T), located in coding exon 4 of the PALB2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1610. The serine at codon 537 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration has been reported in 1/999 Australian individuals with breast cancer referred to a familial cancer clinic and in 0/1998 cancer free controls (Thompson ER et al. Breast Cancer Res. 2015; 17(1):111). However, this alteration was also observed in 1/3431 controls in an invasive epithelial ovarian cancer study (Ramus SJ et al. J. Natl. Cancer Inst., 2015 Nov;107:). 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. -

PALB2-related disorder Uncertain:1
The PALB2 c.1610C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ser537Leu. This variant has been reported in and individual with breast cancer (Table 3, Thompson et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26283626). It has also been reported in a control individual from an ovarian cancer cohort study (Table S4, Ramus et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26315354). This variant is reported in 0.011% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/16-23646257-G-A) and is interpreted as uncertain significance by the vast majority of submitters in ClinVar (https://preview.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/182791/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
Fanconi anemia complementation group N Uncertain:1
This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases did not allow this variant to be ruled in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -
