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.

This variant is considered likely benign. This variant is strongly associated with less severe personal and family histories of cancer, typical for individuals without pathogenic variants in this gene [PMID: 25085752]. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
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 glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 918 of the PALB2 protein (p.Pro918Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs587780822, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with gastric cancer (PMID: 28024868). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 136136). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) 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. -

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces proline with glutamine at codon 918 of the PALB2 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (PMID: 28024868). This variant has been identified in 8/249726 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. -

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. -

PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The PALB2 c.2753C>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Pro918Gln. This variant was reported in a mother and daughter who were both diagnosed with gastric cancer (Sahasrabudhe et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28024868). The p.Pro918Gln residue resides within the WD40 domain that mediates protein binding with BRCA2, RAD51, and RAD51C (Sahasrabudhe et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28024868). This variant is reported in 0.023% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD and has been classified as a variant of uncertain significance in ClinVar by the vast majority of submitters (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/136136/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
