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.

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1173 of the PALB2 protein (p.Ala1173Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs146659762, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 28779002, 30638972). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 460999). 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. RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this missense change on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (internal data). 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. -

The p.A1173V variant (also known as c.3518C>T), located in coding exon 13 of the PALB2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 3518. The alanine at codon 1173 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is highly 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. -

This missense variant replaces alanine with valine at codon 1173 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 performed for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with breast cancer (PMID: 28779002) and in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in 4/60466 cases and 0/53461 unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID PALB2_010736). This variant has been identified in 2/251472 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. -
