Invitae | RCV001320899 | SCV001511707 | uncertain significance | Familial cancer of breast | 2020-06-23 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces proline with arginine at codon 378 of the PALB2 protein (p.Pro378Arg). The proline residue is weakly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between proline and arginine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with PALB2-related conditions. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. 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. |
