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 missense variant replaces leucine with proline at codon 1107 of the PALB2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. A functional study has reported that this variant does not impact PALB2 function in a homology-directed repair assay (PMID: 31636395). This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 30303537, 33980423) and in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in 10/60466 cases and 3/53461 unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID PALB2_010666). This variant also has been detected with expected loss-of-function truncation variants in PALB2 or BRCA2 in individuals affected with PALB2/BRCA2-associated cancer (Color internal data). This variant has been identified in 3/282872 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. -

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. -

DNA sequence analysis of the PALB2 gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.3320T>C, in exon 12 that results in an amino acid change, p.Leu1107Pro. This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database with a frequency of 0.0023% in the non-Finnish European subpopulation (dbSNP rs149194681). This sequence change has been previously identified in individuals with a personal and/or family history of breast cancer (PMID: 30303537, 31159747). The p.Leu1107Pro change affects a moderately conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the PALB2 protein that is known to be functional. In-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL) provide contradictory results for the p.Leu1107Pro substitution. An experimental study evaluating PALB2 function using a cellular homology directed DNA repair (HDR) assay demonstrated that this variant did not disrupt HDR to the same level as known pathogenic variants (PMID: 31636395). Due to insufficient evidences, the clinical significance of the p.Leu1107Pro change remains unknown at this time. -

This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1107 of the PALB2 protein (p.Leu1107Pro). This variant is present in population databases (rs149194681, gnomAD 0.002%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 30303537, 33980423). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142465). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function outputs the following: PolyPhen-2: "Benign". The proline amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect PALB2 function (PMID: 31636395). 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. -

This sequence change replaces leucine with proline at codon 1107 of the PALB2 protein (p.Leu1107Pro). This variant is present in population databases (rs149194681, ExAC 0.001%). This variant has been observed in an individual with breast cancer (PMID: 30303537). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142465) with 6 submissions all of which describe it as of uncertain significance, 2 stars, no conflicts. In-silico predictions show benign computational verdict based on 11 benign predictions from BayesDel_addAF, DANN, DEOGEN2, EIGEN, FATHMM-MKL, LIST-S2, M-CAP, MVP, MutationAssessor, PrimateAI and SIFT vs 1 pathogenic prediction from MutationTaster and the position is not strongly conserved. These predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies.Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
