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.

Familial cancer of breast Uncertain:3
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 31, 2024This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1079 of the PALB2 protein (p.Ala1079Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs769342316, gnomAD 0.0009%). 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: 460984). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingKCCC/NGS Laboratory, Kuwait Cancer Control CenterJul 05, 2023variant of uncertain significance was detected in the PALB2 gene (c.3236C>T).This sequence change replaces alanine with valine at codon 1079 of the PALB2 protein (p.Ala1079Val). The alanine residue is moderately conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between alanine and valine. This variant is present in population databases (rs769342316, ExAC 0.001%). 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: 460984). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Tolerated"Íž PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"). 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. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMay 11, 2023The p.A1079V variant (also known as c.3236C>T), located in coding exon 12 of the PALB2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 3236. The alanine at codon 1079 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration was not observed in unselected male breast cancer patients but was observed with an allele frequency of 0.0001 in 12490 male controls of Japanese ancestry. This variant was also identified in 2/12501 unselected Japanese colorectal cancer patients and in 2/23703 controls (Fujita M et al. Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol, 2022 Sep;20:2132-2141.e9). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthOct 04, 2023This missense variant replaces alanine with valine at codon 1079 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 3/60463 cases and 1/53461 unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID PALB2_010392) and in a separate breast cancer case-control study in two unaffected individuals and absent in 7051 female and 53 male breast cancer cases (PMID: 30287823). This variant also has been reported in a colorectal cancer case-control study in 2/12503 cases and 2/23705 unaffected individuals (PMID: 33309985) and in a pancreatic cancer case-control study in 2/23705 unaffected individuals and absent in 1005 cases (PMID: 32980694). This variant has been identified in 1/251472 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. -
