Classification rationale
1

The PALB2 NM_024675.3:c.871G>A (NP_078951.2:p.(Ala291Thr), p.(A291T)) variant has been reported in ClinVar, where the ClinGen Hereditary Breast, Ovarian and Pancreatic Cancer Variant Curation Expert Panel classified it as uncertain significance.

This variant is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (0/1613968 alleles; AF 0%), which is below the PALB2 PM2_Supporting threshold of 0.000333% and far below the BS1 and BA1 benign frequency thresholds.

SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact (max delta score 0.00), and available computational scores are low for missense deleteriousness (REVEL 0.068; BayesDel -0.616818); under the PALB2 specification, PP3 and BP4 are not used for missense variants, while BP1 applies to all missense variants.

Population
gnomAD v2.1This variant is present in gnomAD v2.1 (AF= 0; MAF= 0.00000%, 0/251366 alleles, homozygotes = 0) and has highest observed frequency in the African/African American population (AF= 0; MAF= 0.00000%, 0/16244 alleles, homozygotes = 0).
gnomAD v4.1This variant is present in gnomAD v4.1 (AF= 0; MAF= 0.00000%, 0/1613968 alleles, homozygotes = 0) and has highest observed frequency in the African/African American population (AF= 0; MAF= 0.00000%, 0/75000 alleles, homozygotes = 0).
ClinVar evidence
02
ClinVar
This variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (3 clinical laboratories) and as Likely benign (1 clinical laboratory) and as Uncertain Significance by ClinGen Hereditary Breast, Ovarian and Pancreatic Cancer Variant Curation Expert Panel, ClinGen (expert panel). (ClinVarID = 241572)
Functional evidence
03
Functional
OncoKB: Unknown Oncogenic Effect
OncoKB did not identify variant-specific reviewed functional evidence for this variant; gene-level curated context is available for reviewer follow-up. PALB2, a scaffolding protein involved in DNA repair, is altered in various cancers.
