Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received -1 ACMG points: 0P and 1B. BP1

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.1748T>G (p.Leu583Trp) variant in PALB2 is a missense variant predicted to cause a substitution of leucine by tryptophan at amino acid 583 (p.Leu583Trp). This variant has a minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 of 0.000044 in the non-Finnish European population (PM2_Supporting, BS1, and BA1 are not met). PALB2, in which the variant was identified, is defined by the HBOP VCEP as a gene for which primarily truncating variants are known to cause disease. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as a variant of uncertain significance for autosomal dominant hereditary breast and pancreatic cancer and autosomal recessive FANCN based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied as specified by the HBOP VCEP.

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.

The c.1748T>G (p.Leu583Trp) variant in PALB2 is a missense variant predicted to cause a substitution of leucine by tryptophan at amino acid 583 (p.Leu583Trp). This variant has a minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 of 0.000044 in the non-Finnish European population (PM2_Supporting, BS1, and BA1 are not met). PALB2, in which the variant was identified, is defined by the HBOP VCEP as a gene for which primarily truncating variants are known to cause disease. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as a variant of uncertain significance for autosomal dominant hereditary breast and pancreatic cancer and autosomal recessive FANCN based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied as specified by the HBOP VCEP.

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 583 of the PALB2 protein (p.Leu583Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs587782151, gnomAD 0.005%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with PALB2-related conditions (PMID: 29522266, 31428572, 32546565, 35402282). This missense change has been observed to be homozygous, hemizygous or homoplasmic in an individual who did not have the expected clinical features for that genetic result (internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 141972). 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. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

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]. Homozygosity for this variant has been confirmed in one or more individuals lacking clinical features consistent with gene-specific recessive disease, indicating that this variant is unlikely to be pathogenic. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces leucine with tryptophan at codon 583 of the PALB2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in at least three individuals affected with breast cancer and an individual affected with rectal cancer (PMID: 28779002, 29522266, 31428572, 35402282) and in two individuals at age 70 or over who are unaffected with cancer (https://whi.color.com/variant/16-23641727-A-C). This variant also has been reported in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in 2/60466 cases and 3/53461 unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID PALB2_010368), and in a ovarian cancer case-control study in 1/3431 unaffected individuals and absent in 3236 cases (PMID: 26315354). This variant has been identified in 5/250554 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. -

The PALB2 c.1748T>G (p.Leu583Trp) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with breast cancer (PMID: 28779002 (2017), 29522266 (2018), 33471991 (2021), 35402282 (2022), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared)), ovarian cancer (PMID: 32546565 (2021)), and rectum cancer (PMID: 31428572 (2019)). The variant has also been identified in reportedly healthy individuals (PMID: 33471991 (2021), 32546565 (2021), 26315354 (2015)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000044 (5/113086 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. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: PALB2 c.1748T>G (p.Leu583Trp) results in a non-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 2e-05 in 250554 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1748T>G has been reported in the literature as a VUS in settings of multigene panel testing for early onset colorectal cancer in at-least one individual with rectal cancer (example, Zhunussova_2019), breast cancer (Dorling_2021) and in unaffected controls (example, Dorling_2021, Ramus_2015). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Prostate/PALB2-associated Cancers. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 26315354, 31428572). Ten clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
