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: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 5 of the PALB2 protein (p.Pro5Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs377085677, gnomAD 0.008%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 21285249, 24556926, 26315354, 27616075, 28135145, 29052111). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 126600). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function outputs the following: PolyPhen-2: "Benign". The serine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on PALB2 function (PMID: 31757951). 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. -

Variant summary: The PALB2 c.13C>T (p.Pro5Ser) variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. 4/5 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. This variant was found in 4/118644 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000337, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic PALB2 variant (0.0001563). This variant has been found in multiple HBOC patients without clear evidence supporting the its pathogenicity. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as uncertain significance. Taken together, this variant is classified as VUS. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The PALB2 c.13C>T (p.Pro5Ser) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals affected with breast (PMID: 29052111 (2018), 28779002 (2017), 24556926 (2014), 21285249 (2011)), ovarian (PMID: 27616075 (2016), 26315354 (2015)), or colorectal cancer (PMID: 28135145 (2017)). In a large-scale breast cancer association study, the variant was reported in individuals with breast cancer as well as unaffected study controls (PMID: 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/PALB2)). In addition, an experimental study on this variant’s effects on PALB2 protein function yielded inconclusive results (PMID: 31757951 (2019)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000079 (10/126632 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 predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

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. -

The PALB2 c.13C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Pro5Ser. This variant has been reported in four individuals with breast cancer (Casadei et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21285249, Table S4; Myszka et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29052111, Table 2) and an individual with ovarian cancer (Kraus et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27616075, Table S4). The results of in vitro functional analyses for this variant were inconclusive (Boonen et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31757951). This variant is reported in 0.0079% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD and has conflicting interpretations of likely benign and uncertain significance in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/126600/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
