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.

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

This variant is denoted PALB2 c.2947A>T at the cDNA level, p.Thr983Ser (T983S) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Threonine to a Serine (ACC>TCC). This variant was observed in at least one individual with breast cancer (Decker 2017). PALB2 Thr983Ser was not observed in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). Since Threonine and Serine share similar properties, this is considered a conservative amino acid substitution. PALB2 Thr983Ser is located in the WD3 domain, the region required for interaction with POLH and POLH DNA synthesis stimulation and the region of interaction with RAD51 and BRCA2 (Oliver 2009, Buisson 2010, Buisson 2014, UniProt). In-silico analyses, including protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, support that this variant does not alter protein structure or function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether PALB2 Thr983Ser is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

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

This missense variant replaces threonine with serine at codon 983 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). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been detected 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_010812) and at least one individual each affected with ovarian and pancreatic cancer (PMID: 26315354, 28767289). This variant has not been identified 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. -

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

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. -

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

This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 983 of the PALB2 protein (p.Thr983Ser). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with ovarian cancer (PMID: 26315354, 28767289). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142070). 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 not expected to disrupt PALB2 protein function with a negative 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. -
