Description

The p.T124N variant (also known as c.371C>A), located in coding exon 4 of the PALB2 gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 371. The threonine at codon 124 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration was observed in unselected female breast cancer patients, unselected prostate cancer patients and unaffected controls of Japanese ancestry (Momozawa Y et al. Nat Commun, 2018 10;9:4083; Momozawa Y et al. J Natl Cancer Inst, 2020 Apr;112:369-376). This amino acid position is poorly 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.

Description

This missense variant replaces threonine with asparagine at codon 124 of the PALB2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in two breast cancer case-control studies in which it was detected in 2 cases and 2 unaffected individuals (PMID: 30287823, 33471991). This variant also has been reported in a pancreatic cancer and a prostate cancer case-control study in 1/1005 pancreatic cancer cases and 4/23705 unaffected controls and 3/7636 prostate cancer cases and 2/12366 unaffected controls, respectively (PMID: 31214711, 32980694). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
