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

The p.G562R variant (also known as c.1684G>A) located in coding exon 4 of the PALB2 gene. This variant results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1684. The amino acid change results in glycine to arginine at codon 562, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. However, this change occurs in the last base pair of exon 4 which makes it likely to have some effect on normal mRNA splicing. Using the BDGP and ESEfinder splice site prediction tools, this alteration is predicted to weaken the efficiency of the native donor splice site; however direct evidence is insufficient at this time (Ambry internal data). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species; however, arginine is the reference amino acid in multiple 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. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 562 of the PALB2 protein (p.Gly562Arg). This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 4, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). 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: 185516). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function outputs the following: PolyPhen-2: "Benign". The arginine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. 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. -
