Functional Characterization of PALB2 Variants of Uncertain Significance: Toward Cancer Risk and Therapy Response Prediction

In recent years it has become clear that pathogenic variants in PALB2 are associated with a high risk for breast, ovarian and pancreatic cancer. However, the clinical relevance of variants of uncertain significance (VUS) in PALB2, which are increasingly identified through clinical genetic testing, i...
