Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
PM2 (Supporting): absent from gnomAD v4.1 exomes (AF 0), below the <=1/300,000 VCEP frequency threshold.
2
BP1 (Supporting): the PALB2 VCEP applies BP1 to all missense variants given the low rate of pathogenic missense changes in PALB2.
3
Overall: VUS (Uncertain Significance - Conflicting Evidence), per Rule 31 combining PM2 (Pathogenic.Supporting) with BP1 (Benign.Supporting).
Final determination:
Under the ClinGen HBOPC PALB2 VCEP v1.2 combination rules, the presence of at least one pathogenic-supporting criterion (PM2 supporting) together with at least one benign-supporting criterion (BP1 supporting) satisfies Rule31 (Benign.Supporting >=1 AND Pathogenic.Supporting >=1), which maps to Uncertain Significance - Conflicting Evidence (VUS); no higher-evidence pathogenic or benign rule is satisfied.
Criteria assessment
ACMG/AMP criteria review
Criteria shown when status is available
All criteria require review: For research and educational purposes only.
| Criterion | Status | Rationale | Evidence used |
|---|---|---|---|
| PVS1 | N/A | Not applicable: this is a missense substitution (p.(Gly982Val)) with no predicted splice effect (SpliceAI max delta 0.003), so no null-variant consequence exists. |

pvs1_variant_assessment
pvs1_gene_context
pvs1_generic_framework
spliceai
|
| PS1 | N/A | Not applicable: the PALB2 VCEP restricts PS1 to splicing variants, and this missense change (p.(Gly982Val), SpliceAI max delta 0.003) triggers no splicing scenario. |
cspec
spliceai
clinvar
|
| PS2 | N/A | Not applicable: the PALB2 VCEP disallows PS2 for both AD and AR disease, and no de novo or parental-testing data exist. |
cspec
|
| PS3 | N/A | Not applicable: the PALB2 VCEP defines no PS3 rule, and no functional studies of p.(Gly982Val) are available. |
cspec
oncokb
|
| PS4 | Not met | Not met: PS4 requires a case-control study (p <= 0.05, OR >= 3), and no case-control or enrichment data exist for this variant. |
cspec
|
| PM1 | N/A | Not applicable: the PALB2 VCEP disallows PM1 for missense variants, and p.(Gly982Val) is not in a cancer hotspot. |
cspec
|
| PM2 | Met | Met (Supporting): absent from gnomAD v4.1 exomes (AF 0), satisfying the VCEP frequency threshold of <=1/300,000. |

|
| PM3 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no proband, family, or phase data were available to determine whether the variant occurs in trans with a pathogenic PALB2 allele. |
cspec
clinvar
|
| PM4 | N/A | Not applicable: PM4 covers in-frame indels or stop-loss variants, and this missense change preserves the reading frame and protein length. |
cspec
pvs1_variant_assessment
spliceai
|
| PM5 | N/A | Not applicable: the PALB2 VCEP restricts PM5 to truncating variants upstream of p.Tyr1183, not missense changes. |
cspec
pm5_candidates
|
| PM6 | N/A | Not applicable: the PALB2 VCEP disallows PM6 for both AD and AR disease, as de novo occurrences are not yet informative. |
cspec
|
| PP1 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no family or segregation data were available to compute the required LOD >= 0.3 or Bayes factor >= 2:1. |
cspec
clinvar
|
| PP2 | N/A | Not applicable: the PALB2 VCEP disallows PP2, as missense is not yet confirmed as a disease mechanism for PALB2. |
cspec
|
| PP3 | Not met | Not met: splice-based PP3 requires SpliceAI >= 0.2, and the max delta is 0.003; the VCEP prohibits missense predictors. |
cspec
spliceai
revel
bayesdel
|
| PP4 | N/A | Not applicable: the PALB2 VCEP declares PP4 not applicable, so phenotype specificity is not used as a criterion. |
cspec
|
| PP5 | N/A | Not applicable: the PALB2 VCEP disallows PP5, and the variant is absent from ClinVar so no expert-panel classification exists. |
cspec
clinvar
|
| BA1 | Not met | Not met: BA1 requires gnomAD filtering AF > 0.1%, and the variant is absent (AF 0). |

| BS4 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no non-segregation data were available to compute the required LOD <= -0.32 or LR <= 0.48. |
cspec

|
| BP1 | Met | Met (Supporting): the PALB2 VCEP applies BP1 to all missense variants, including p.(Gly982Val), given the low rate of pathogenic missense changes. |
cspec
|
| BP2 | N/A | Not applicable: the PALB2 VCEP marks BP2 not applicable, so it is not used in this framework. |
cspec
|
| BP3 | N/A | Not applicable: BP3 covers in-frame indels in non-functional repeat regions, and this variant is a missense substitution. |
cspec

|
| BP4 | N/A | Not applicable: the PALB2 VCEP forbids BP4 for missense variants despite SpliceAI max delta 0.003 and REVEL 0.158. |
cspec

|
| BP5 | N/A | Not applicable: the PALB2 VCEP declares BP5 not applicable, so an alternate-molecular-basis rule is not used. |
cspec
|
| BP6 | N/A | Not applicable: the PALB2 VCEP disallows BP6, and the variant is absent from ClinVar so no expert-panel benign classification exists. |
cspec

|
| BP7 | N/A | Not applicable: BP7 applies to synonymous and deep intronic variants, and this is a missense change in exon 9. |
