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.

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Published functional studies demonstrate moderate PARPi sensitivity, moderate interaction with BRCA1, cellular localization similar to wild type, normal response to DNA damage, reduced RAD51 foci formation, and normal or decreased HDR activity (Rodrigue 2019, Wiltshire 2019); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 32185139, 33169439, 32209438, 31636395, 31658756, 31586400, 23555315, 25503501, 28944238, 28528518, 26315354, 25186627, 21113654) -

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

Variant summary: The c.23C>T (p.Pro8Leu) in PALB2 gene is a missense change that involves a non-conserved nucleotide and 3/5 in silico tools predict deleterious outcome. The variant is located in the a coiled-coil domain of PALB2 required for RAD51- and BRCA1-binding, however no functional studies confirming deleterious effect of this change have been reported at the time of evaluation. The variant is present in the control population dataset of ExAC at a frequency of 0.0001801 (20/ 111058 chrs tested), predominantly in individuals of African descent (0.001817; 16/ 8808 chrs tested). The observed frequencies exceed the maximum expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant of 0.000156, suggesting it is may be an ethnic-specific functional polymorphism. The variant has been reported in BrC pt without strong evidence for causality. The variant is cited as VUS/Likely Benign by reputable databases/clinical laboratories without evidence to independently evaluate. Taking together, the variant was classified as Likely Benign. -

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. -

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. -

PALB2-related disorder Uncertain:1

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

The PALB2 c.23C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Pro8Leu. This variant has been reported in individuals with breast and colorectal cancer; however, a causative association has not been established (Ding et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21113654; Tung et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25186627, Supplemental Table 2; Maxwell et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25503501, Supplemental Table 1; Cock-Rada et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 28528518, Table 2; DeRycke et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28944238, Supplemental Table S2). Functional studies of this variant are conflicting, with some indicating similar function to wild type protein (Rodrigue et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31586400). This variant is reported in 0.13% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. ClinVar classifications range from benign to uncertain, with a consensus of recent classifications pointing toward likely benign (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/126652/). Although we suspect this alteration is more likely benign, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to insufficient functional and genetic evidence. -
