Description

The p.Q348K variant (also known as c.1042C>A), located in coding exon 4 of the PALB2 gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 1042. The glutamine at codon 348 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been reported in at least one subject in a study of 13087 breast cancer cases and 5488 control individuals in the UK (Decker B et al. J. Med. Genet., 2017 11;54:732-741). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
