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.

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This 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. -

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina
Significance: Likely benign
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

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 allowed determination this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -

Malignant tumor of breast Benign:1

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System
Significance: Likely benign
Review Status: no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method: clinical testing

The PALB2 p.Leu303= variant was identified in 2 of 5770 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0003) from individuals or families with prostate or breast cancer and was not identified in 520 control chromosomes from healthy individuals (Tischkowitz 2008, Zheng 2012). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs145788619) as "With other allele", ClinVar (classified as benign by GeneDx and Invitae; as likely benign by Ambry Genetics, Counsyl, Color Genomics and one other clinical laboratory), and in LOVD 3.0 database (2x). The variant was not identified in Cosmic, MutDB, or the Zhejiang University database. The variant was identified in control databases in 96 of 277112 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0003, increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 86 of 24026 chromosomes (freq: 0.004), Latino in 9 of 34418 chromosomes (freq: 0.0003), and European in 1 of 126634 chromosomes (freq: 0.000008); it was not observed in the Other, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, Finnish, or South Asian populations. The p.Leu303= 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) 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. -
