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.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJun 13, 2022The p.T247A variant (also known as c.739A>G), located in coding exon 4 of the PALB2 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 739. The threonine at codon 247 is replaced by alanine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been reported in at least one subject in a study of 13087 breast cancer cases and 5488 control individuals in the UK (Decker B et al. J Med Genet, 2017 11;54:732-741). This alteration was also identified in a cohort of individuals undergoing multigene panel testing due to a personal and/or family history of cancer (Tsaousis GN et al. BMC Cancer. 2019 Jun;19:535). 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 testingInvitaeDec 08, 2023This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 247 of the PALB2 protein (p.Thr247Ala). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of PALB2-related conditions (PMID: 31159747). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 186559). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Not Available"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Not Available". The alanine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. 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. -
