Ambry Genetics RCV000130052 SCV000184879 likely benign Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2020-08-25 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000212808 SCV000699560 benign not specified 2020-10-05 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: PALB2 c.2289G>C (p.Leu763Phe) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the MRG15 interaction domain (Zhang_PALB2_BCRT_2017) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5.2e-05 in 251480 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00065 within the East Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within East Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 4 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 East Asian origin. c.2289G>C has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. These results showed no damaging effect of this variant (Wiltshire_2019). Ten clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Multiple laboratories reported the variant with conflicting assessments (benign/likely benign n=3, VUS n=7). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign.
ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories RCV000212808 SCV001159692 uncertain significance not specified 2019-05-10 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The PALB2 c.2289G>C; p.Leu763Phe variant (rs373478248) is reported in Eastern Asian individuals with familial or sporadic breast cancer as well as healthy controls (Momozawa 2018, Zhang 2017). This variant is reported as likely benign or uncertain in ClinVar (Variation ID: 136133). It is found in the general East Asian population with an allele frequency of 0.07% (14/19950 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The leucine at codon 763 is highly conserved, and computational analyses (SIFT, PolyPhen-2) predict that this variant is deleterious. However, given the lack of clinical and functional data, the significance of this variant is uncertain at this time. REFERENCES Momozawa Y et al.

Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano RCV000587948 SCV001469845 uncertain significance not provided 2023-06-28 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing In the published literature, the variant has been reported in individuals with breast cancer as well as in healthy controls (PMID: 32068069 (2020), 30287823 (2018), 28825143 (2017), 26283626 (2015), 25186627 (2015), 23977390 (2013), 33471991 (2021) and LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/PALB2)). In addition, a functional study suggests that this variant is not damaging to the homology-directed DNA repair activity of PALB2, however, further studies are necessary to confirm this finding (PMID: 31636395 (2020)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0007 (14/19950 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is benign or damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant.

Preventiongenetics, part of Exact Sciences RCV003415928 SCV004108645 uncertain significance PALB2-related condition 2023-07-25 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The PALB2 c.2289G>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Leu763Phe. This variant has been reported in individuals with personal or family history of breast cancer (Zhang et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28825143; See Supp. Table 2 in Chan et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 30093976; Phuah et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23977390; Thompson et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26283626). A functional homology directed repair assay did not indicate this variant disrupted homologous recombination (Wiltshire et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31636395). This variant is reported in 0.070% of alleles in individuals of East Asian descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/16-23641186-C-G) and has conflicting interpretations of pathogenicity, ranging from likely benign to uncertain, in the ClinVar database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/136133/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence.

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System RCV001357632 SCV001553156 uncertain significance Malignant tumor of breast no assertion criteria provided clinical testing The PALB2 p.Leu763Phe variant was identified in 3 of 4236 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0007) from Asian and Australian individuals or families with breast and ovarian cancer (Phuah 2013, Thompson 2015). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs373478248) as With other allele, ClinVar (1x likely benign: Invitae; 4x uncertain significance: Ambry Genetics, GeneDx, Peter MacCullum Cancer Centre, Color Genomics), LOVD 3.0 (2x likely does not affect function), databases. The variant was not identified in COSMIC, MutDB, or the Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database. The variant was identified in control databases in 14 of 277240 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00005 increasing the likelihood that this may be a low frequency benign variant in certain populations of origin (Genome Aggregation Consortium Feb 27, 2017). The p.Leu763Phe residue is conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 2 of 5 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. 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.
