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.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:3
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthApr 17, 2023This missense variant replaces threonine with serine at codon 734 of the PALB2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). A functional study has reported that this variant does not impact PALB2 function in a homology-directed repair assay (PMID: 31636395). This variant has been reported in at least 8 individuals affected with breast cancer, 1 individual affected with ovarian cancer and at least 7 individuals unaffected with breast or ovarian cancer (PMID: 17200668, 20091115, 22241545, 25186627, 26283626, 26315354, 26898890, 33471991) including two individuals age 70 years or older without cancer in the FLOSSIES database. This variant also has been reported in individuals affected with pancreatic cancer (PMID: 28767289, 32659497). This variant has been identified in 16/282876 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. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJun 05, 2023The p.T734S variant (also known as c.2200A>T), located in coding exon 5 of the PALB2 gene, results from an A to T substitution at nucleotide position 2200. The threonine at codon 734 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant has been identified in numerous disease cohorts as well and unaffected control groups across studies (Rahman N et al. Nat. Genet. 2007 Feb;39:165-7; Sauty de Chalon A et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2010 May;121:253-5; Thompson ER et al. Breast Cancer Res, 2015 Aug;17:111; Ramus SJ et al. J Natl Cancer Inst, 2015 Nov;107:; Caminsky NG et al. Hum Mutat, 2016 07;37:640-52; Shindo K et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2017 Oct;35:3382-3390; Hu H et al. J Am Coll Surg, 2020 11;231:527-535.e14; Dorling et al. N Engl J Med. 2021 02;384:428-439; Lattimore V et al. Breast Cancer Res Treat, 2021 Feb;185:583-590; Lerner-Ellis J et al. J Cancer Res Clin Oncol, 2021 Mar;147:871-879). In a homology-directed DNA repair (HDR) assay, this alteration was found to be functionally normal (Wiltshire T et al. Genet. Med., 2019 Oct). This amino acid position is highly 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. -

not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpOct 28, 2021Variant summary: PALB2 c.2200A>T (p.Thr734Ser) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 6.8e-05 in 264516 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00011 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. This frequency is not higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in PALB2 causing Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (6.8e-05 vs 0.00016), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.2200A>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (example, Rahman_2007, Sauty de Chalon_2010, , Tischkowitz_2012,Tung_2014, Thompson_2015, Ramus_2015, Caminsky_2016, Shindo_2017, and Lattimore_2021). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. Co-occurrences with other pathogenic variants have been reported [CHEK2 c.1100delC, p.T367fs*15 (internal testing); BRCA2 c.1929delG, p.Arg645fsX15 (Tung_2014)], providing supporting evidence for a benign role. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function which showed the variant to have proficient HDR activity, providing supporting evidence for a benign role (Wiltshire_2020). Eight clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and all laboratories classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
Malignant tumor of breast Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The PALB2 p.Thr734Ser variant was identified in 8 of 20076 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0004) from individuals or families with familial breast cancer, contralateral breast cancer, male breast cancer, familial ovarian cancer, or pancreatic cancer and was present in 5 of 13026 control chromosomes (frequency: 0.0004) from healthy individuals (Rahman 2007, Thompson 2015, Tischkowitz 2012, Sauty de Chalon 2010, Tung 2015, Caminsky 2016, Ramus 2015, Shindo 2017). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs45543843) as "With Uncertain significance allele", in ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by GeneDx, Ambry Genetics, Invitae and 5 other submitters), LOVD 3.0 (identified by 4 submitters and curated as "effect unknown"). The variant was identified in control databases in 16 of 277228 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00006 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 1 of 24028 chromosomes (freq: 0.00004), Other in 1 of 6468 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002), European Non-Finnish in 14 of 126714 chromosomes (freq: 0.0001), while the variant was not observed in the Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, Finnish, and South Asian populations. The p.Thr734 residue is conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 1 of 4 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -
