Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -1 ACMG points: 0P and 1B. BP4
The NM_024675.4(PALB2):c.101G>T(p.Arg34Leu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000806 in 1,613,720 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts 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. R34C) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

The p.R34L variant (also known as c.101G>T), located in coding exon 2 of the PALB2 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 101. The arginine at codon 34 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration has been reported with a carrier frequency of 0.0000 in 53 unselected men with breast cancer and 0.0001 in 12490 male controls of Japanese ancestry (Momozawa Y et al. Nat Commun, 2018 10;9:4083). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
This missense variant replaces arginine with leucine at codon 34 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 breast, pancreatic and prostate cancer case-control studies in which it was detected in 1 unaffected individual in each study and absent in cancer cases (PMID: 30287823, 31214711, 32980694). This variant has been identified in 5/282888 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. -
Familial cancer of breast Uncertain:2Benign:1
This variant is considered likely 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 sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 34 of the PALB2 protein (p.Arg34Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs144944814, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PALB2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 186920). 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. -
