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.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	curation	Sema4, Sema4	Jan 04, 2022	- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Jul 12, 2023	The p.V546A variant (also known as c.1637T>C), located in coding exon 4 of the PALB2 gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 1637. The valine at codon 546 is replaced by alanine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been reported in at least one subject in a study of 13087 breast cancer cases and 5488 control individuals in the UK (Decker B et al. J Med Genet, 2017 11;54:732-741). This alteration was also identified in 1/1358 non-cancer control individuals and in 0/57 cases, in a study looking at cancer predisposition mutations in patients with cutaneous melanoma and a history of at least two additional non-cutaneous melanoma primary cancers (Pritchard AL et al. PLoS One, 2018 Apr;13:e0194098). This alteration was also identified in an individual diagnosed with ovarian cancer (Song H et al. J Med Genet, 2021 May;58:305-313). This amino acid position is not well 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Jan 10, 2023	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. -

Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Mar 01, 2016	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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Dec 20, 2022	In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 28779002, 28135145, 32546565, 29641532) -

Familial cancer of breast

Uncertain:1Benign:1

Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Myriad Genetics, Inc.	Feb 14, 2024	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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Dec 12, 2023	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). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae 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. -
