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 threonine, which is neutral and polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 275 of the PALB2 protein (p.Thr275Ile). This variant is present in population databases (rs786202499, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with ovarian cancer (PMID: 26315354). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 185844). 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. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces threonine with isoleucine at codon 275 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 reported in two individuals affected with ovarian cancer (PMID: 26315354) and in a ovarian cancer case-control study in 1/5479 unaffected controls and absent in 5914 cases (PMID: 32546565). This variant has been identified in 1/251418 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. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.T275I variant (also known as c.824C>T), located in coding exon 4 of the PALB2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 824. The threonine at codon 275 is replaced by isoleucine, an amino acid with similar properties. In one study, this alteration was observed in 2/3236 cases with invasive epithelial ovarian cancer and 0/3431 controls (Ramus SJ et al. J. Natl. Cancer Inst., 2015 Nov;107:). This variant was also observed in 1/3251 individuals who met eligibility criteria for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (Lerner-Ellis J et al. J Cancer Res Clin Oncol, 2021 Mar;147:871-879). 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. -

The PALB2 p.Thr275Ile variant was identified in 2 of 6472 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0003) from individuals or families with ovarian cancer and was not identified in 6862 control chromosomes from healthy individuals (Ramus_2015_26315354). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs786202499) â€šÃ„ÃºWith Uncertain significance alleleâ€šÃ„Ã¹, ClinVar (classified uncertain significance by Ambry Genetics), Clinvitae (1x), and in control databases in 1 of 246204 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000004 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017), in the EuropeanNon-Finnish population, in 1 of 111660 chromosomes (freq: 0.000009); it was not observed in the African, â€šÃ„ÃºOtherâ€šÃ„Ã¹, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, European Finnish, and South Asian populations. The variant was not identified in Cosmic, MutDB, LOVD 3.0, or Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database. The p.Thr275 residue is not conserved in mammals and four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood the variant Ile impacts the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -
