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.

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

In the published literature, this variant has been reported in individuals with breast cancer (PMIDs: 29522266 (2018), 29052111 (2018)), ovarian cancer (PMIDs: 28591191 (2017), 26689913 (2015), 26315354 (2015), 24448499 (2014)), and healthy individuals (PMIDs: 32658311 (2021), 32546565 (2021), 26315354 (2015), 24448499 (2014), 21618343 (2011)). Experimental studies report this variant does not affect homology directed repair, however further evidence is needed to determine the global effect of this variant on PALB2 protein activity (PMID: 31636395 (2020)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00023 (6/26134 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is benign or damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

The PALB2 c.3508C>T (p.His1170Tyr) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.0093% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). The in silico tool REVEL predicts a benign effect on protein function and a functional study demonstrated that this variant does not impact homology directed repair (HDR) activity. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast or ovarian cancer and with suspicion of hereditary cancer predisposition (PMID: 29052111, 31159747). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals with Fanconi anemia. In summary, the evidence currently available is insufficient to determine the clinical significance of this variant. It has therefore been classified as of uncertain significance. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

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: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

DNA sequence analysis of the PALB2 gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.3508C>T, in exon 13 that results in an amino acid change, p.His1170Tyr. This sequence change does not appear to have been previously described in individuals with PALB2-related disorders and has been described in the gnomAD database with a low frequency of 0.0093% in the European sub-population (dbSNP rs200283306). The p.His1170Tyr 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.His1170Tyr substitution. Due to these contrasting evidences and the lack of functional studies, the clinical significance of the p.His1170Tyr change remains unknown at this time. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Variant summary: PALB2 c.3508C>T (p.His1170Tyr) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Partner and localiser of BRCA2, WD40 domain (IPR031920) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.8e-05 in 251472 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 9.7e-05 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in PALB2 causing Breast Cancer (4.8e-05 vs 0.00016), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.3508C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Breast and/or ovarian cancer without evidence for causality (examples: Kanchi_2014, Ramus_2015, Stafford_2017, Myszka_2018,Tsaousis_2019, Krivokucka_2022). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Breast Cancer. At least one functional study reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function and showed no damaging effect of this variant on homology directed repair (HDR) activity (example: Wiltshire_2019). HDR assays qualify as a recognized gold standard on the basis of updated guidance provided by the ClinGen Sequence Variant Interpretation (SVI) working group. Fifteen submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as VUS (n=11) and benign/likely benign (n=4). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
