Description
The PALB2 c.23C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Pro8Leu. This variant has been reported in individuals with breast and colorectal cancer; however, a causative association has not been established (Ding et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21113654; Tung et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25186627, Supplemental Table 2; Maxwell et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25503501, Supplemental Table 1; Cock-Rada et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 28528518, Table 2; DeRycke et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28944238, Supplemental Table S2). Functional studies of this variant are conflicting, with some indicating similar function to wild type protein (Rodrigue et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31586400). This variant is reported in 0.13% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. ClinVar classifications range from benign to uncertain, with a consensus of recent classifications pointing toward likely benign (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/126652/). Although we suspect this alteration is more likely benign, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to insufficient functional and genetic evidence.
