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.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with PALB2-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 460913). This variant is present in population databases (rs777940379, ExAC 0.006%). This sequence change replaces glycine with arginine at codon 620 of the PALB2 protein (p.Gly620Arg). The glycine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between glycine and arginine. -

The p.G620R variant (also known as c.1858G>C), located in coding exon 5 of the PALB2 gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 1858. The glycine at codon 620 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is conserved. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
