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.

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 leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 758 of the PALB2 protein (p.Pro758Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs746117401, gnomAD 0.005%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with ovarian cancer (PMID: 26315354). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 577747). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Not Available"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Not Available". The leucine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. 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. -

PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The PALB2 c.2273C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Pro758Leu. This variant was reported in an individual with ovarian cancer (Supplementary Table 4 in Ramus et al 2015. PubMed ID: 26315354). This variant is reported in 0.0050% of alleles in individuals of East Asian descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/16-23641202-G-A). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Benign:1

Ambry Genetics
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. -
