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.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthMar 28, 2022This missense variant replaces isoleucine with valine at codon 941 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 observed in an individual affected with bilateral breast cancer with positive family history of breast cancer (PMID: 33558524), as well as in two individuals affected with breast cancer in a case-control study (PMID: 33471991). This variant has been identified in 5/250838 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMay 08, 2023The p.I941V variant (also known as c.2821A>G), located in coding exon 8 of the PALB2 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 2821. The isoleucine at codon 941 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been identified in different cancer cohorts and in controls (Mandelker D. et al. JAMA. 2017;318(9):825-835; Hauke J. et al. Cancer Med. 2018;7(4):1349-1358; Weitzel JN et al. Cancer, 2019 Aug;125:2829-2836; Moradian MM et al. Hum Genome Var, 2021 Feb;8:9). This alteration was also identified in 1/68 non-Jewish Israeli individuals determined to be at high-risk for breast/ovarian cancer (Zidan J et al. Breast Cancer Res Treat, 2017 Dec;166:881-885).This amino acid position is highly 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. -

Hot spot has 283 non-VUS coding variants (146 pathogenic and 137 benign), pathogenicity = 51.6% > threshold 17.2%. PM2 Pathogenic Moderate: GnomAD exomes allele frequency = 0.0000199 < 0.0001 threshold for recessive gene PALB2. Variant not found in GnomAD genomes. PP3 Pathogenic Supporting: 8 pathogenic predictions from DANN, EIGEN, FATHMM-MKL, MutationAssessor, MutationTaster, SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD vs 5 benign predictions from DEOGEN2, M-CAP, MVP, PrimateAI and REVEL. PP4 Pathogenic Supporting: Female patient was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer at the age of 55 y.o. with strong family history of breast cancer. 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. -
Familial cancer of breast Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 06, 2023This sequence change replaces isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 941 of the PALB2 protein (p.Ile941Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs778602038, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 28828701, 33558524). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 460961). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt PALB2 protein function with a positive 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. -
