Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	RCV001255214	SCV000699527	likely benign	not specified	2023-03-14	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Variant summary: PALB2 c.1250C>A (p.Ser417Tyr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00012 in 256854 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00023 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within Non-Finnish European control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 1.5 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in PALB2 causing Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome phenotype (0.00016), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of Non-Finnish European origin. c.1250C>A has been reported in the literature as a VUS in settings of multigene panel testing of individuals affected with breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (example, Tischkowitz_2012, Yurgelun_2015, Cremin_2020, Fonfria_2021). However, these reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. Co-occurrence with a pathogenic variant has been reported (PMS2 c.2095G>C, p.D699H), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. In homology directed repair (HDR) assays, the variant was found to have either slightly reduced or normal activity (example, Boonen_2019, Wiltshire_2019). Fifteen other ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as uncertain significance (n=12) or likely benign (n=3). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign.

Myriad Genetics, Inc.	RCV000114466	SCV004019723	benign	Familial cancer of breast	2023-04-03	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	This variant is considered benign. This variant is strongly associated with less severe personal and family histories of cancer, typical for individuals without pathogenic variants in this gene [PMID: 25085752]. Homozygosity for this variant has been confirmed in one or more individuals lacking clinical features consistent with gene-specific recessive disease, indicating that this variant is unlikely to be pathogenic.

According to the ClinGen ACMG PALB2 v1.0.0 criteria we chose these criteria: BP1 (supporting benign): Based on published and unpublished functional studies, PALB2 has a low rate of missense variants that are non-functional in relevant assays. True missense pathogenic variants are not yet confirmed or refuted but are thought to be exceedingly rare. Given the very low likelihood that missense variants are pathogenic, this rule applies to all missense variants in PALB2., BS1 (strong benign): popmax:NFE popmax AF:0.000205773
