Description

The c.2831T>A variant in PALB2 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of isoleucine by asparagine at amino acid 944 (p.Ile944Asn). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1. This variant is non-functional in multiple different protein assays (PMID: 31757951, 31636395); however due to a lack of positive missense controls with known clinical impact, these protein assays do not meet the requirements for use by the HBOP VCEP. PALB2, in which the variant was identified, is defined by the HBOP VCEP as a gene for which primarily truncating variants are known to cause disease. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as a variant of uncertain significance for autosomal dominant hereditary breast and pancreatic cancer and autosomal recessive FANCN based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the HBOP VCEP.

Description

This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). 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. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects PALB2 function (PMID: 31636395, 31757951). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt PALB2 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 187262). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 30638972). This sequence change replaces isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 944 of the PALB2 protein (p.Ile944Asn).
