Variant summary
Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 1 ACMG points: 2P and 1B. PM2BP4
The NM_024675.4(PALB2):c.113C>T(p.Ala38Val) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000186 in 1,613,118 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A38P) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
This missense variant replaces alanine with valine at codon 38 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 was functionally normal in a homology-directed repair and in a PARP inhibitor sensitivity assay in Palb2-deficient mouse embryonic stem cells (PMID: 33811135). This variant has been detected in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in 0/60466 cases and 1/53461 unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID PALB2_011215). This variant has been identified in 3/282856 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.
The p.A38V variant (also known as c.113C>T), located in coding exon 3 of the PALB2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 113. The alanine at codon 38 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is 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.

Familial cancer of breast Uncertain:1
This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 38 of the PALB2 protein (p.Ala38Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs371875379, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PALB2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 572721). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect PALB2 function (PMID: 33811135). 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.
