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.

Submissions by phenotype

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsSep 03, 2021The c.2989G>T (p.D997Y) alteration is located in exon 9 (coding exon 9) of the PALB2 gene. This alteration results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 2989, causing the aspartic acid (D) at amino acid position 997 to be replaced by a tyrosine (Y). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMar 22, 2019Variant summary: PALB2 c.2989G>T (p.Asp997Tyr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Partner and localiser of BRCA2, WD40 domain of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 277202 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.2989G>T has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer, who had a strong family history of cancer (Bonache_2018). The individual also carried two additional potentially pathogenic variants, BARD1 c.580_581del, p.(Arg194GlyfsX2) and PMS2 c.989-2A>G, providing supporting evidence for a benign role. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. A ClinVar submission from a clinical diagnostic laboratory (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS - possibly benign. -
Familial cancer of breast Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeFeb 01, 2024This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 997 of the PALB2 protein (p.Asp997Tyr). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 30306255). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 530176). 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 expected to disrupt PALB2 protein function with a positive 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. -
