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.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2Benign:1

Ambry Genetics
Significance: Likely benign
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. -

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health
Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces valine with alanine at codon 546 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 at least two individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 28779002, 30638972) and one individual each affected with ovarian cancer (PMID: 32546565) and colorectal cancer (PMID: 28135145). This variant has been identified in 6/282812 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. -

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

Variant summary: Variant affects a non-conserved nucleotide and results in a replacement of a medium size and hydrophobic Valine (V) with a small size and hydrophobic Alanine (A). 2/4 in silico tools predict the variant to be benign. The variant was found in the large and broad cohorts of the ExAC project at an allele frequency of 0.0016% which does not exceed the maximal allele frequency of a disease causing PALB2 allele (0.015%). To our knowledge, the variant has not been reported in affected individuals and in vitro/vivo studies assessing the impact of the variant of the function of the protein were not published either at the time of scoring. A clinical diagnostic laboratory classifies variant as Uncertain via ClinVar (without evidence to independently evaluate). Due to the lack of clinical data and functional studies, the variant was classified as variant of uncertain significance until more information becomes available. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 546 of the PALB2 protein (p.Val546Ala). This variant is present in population databases (rs148647206, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with colorectal cancer and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 28135145, 32546565, 34326862). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 136129). 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. -

Myriad Genetics, Inc.
Significance: Benign
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is considered 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 variant has been observed in trans with a known pathogenic variant in one or more individuals lacking clinical features consistent with gene-specific recessive disease. -

PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences
Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method: clinical testing

The PALB2 c.1637T>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Val546Ala. This variant has been reported in individuals with a history of colorectal, breast, and ovarian cancers (Table A4, Yurgelun et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28135145; Table S5, Decker et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28779002; Table S3, Pritchard et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29641532; Table S6, Song et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32546565; Table S4, Bhai et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 34326862). This variant is reported in 0.0046% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. In ClinVar, this variant is interpreted as uncertain by multiple laboratories (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/136129/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
