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, c.37_39del, results in the deletion of 1 amino acid(s) of the PALB2 protein (p.Glu13del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is present in population databases (rs745444171, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PALB2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 231830). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. 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. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant causes the deletion of one amino acid, glutamic acid, at codon 13 in the PALB2 protein. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has been identified in 2/247884 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. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.37_39delGAG variant (also known as p.E13DEL) located in coding exon 1 of the PALB2 gene. This variant results from an in-frame GAG deletion between nucleotide positions 37 and 39. This results in the in-frame deletion of a glutamic acid residue at codon 13. This amino acid position is highly conserved through mammals. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis (Choi Y et al. PLoS ONE. 2012; 7(10):e46688). Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: PALB2 c.37_39delGAG (p.Glu13del) results in an in-frame deletion that is predicted to remove 1 amino acid from the encoded protein. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8.1e-06 in 247884 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.37_39delGAG in individuals affected with Breast Cancer and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. A co-occurrence with a pathogenic variant has been reported (BRCA1 c.4357+1G>A; Internal testing). Four ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
