Genes affected

MSH2 (HGNC:7325): (mutS homolog 2) This locus is frequently mutated in hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC). When cloned, it was discovered to be a human homolog of the E. coli mismatch repair gene mutS, consistent with the characteristic alterations in microsatellite sequences (RER+ phenotype) found in HNPCC. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-47408556-G-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-47408556-G-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 91071.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars. Variant chr2-47408556-G-T is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.366+1G>T variant of the MSH2 gene is located in intron 2. It is expected to affect mRNA splicing and result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant has been reported in individuals with hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer syndrome (HNPCC) or urinary tract cancer (PMID: 16395668, 31615790). Functional studies showed that this variant leads to exon 2 skipping (PMID: 16395668). This variant is absent in the general population database gnomAD (v2.1.1). This variant has been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 91071). Truncating variants in MSH2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15849733, 19419416). Other variants of the same splice site, c.366+1G>C and c.366+1G>A, are classified as pathogenic/likely pathogenic in ClinVar. Therefore, the c.366+1G>T variant of the MSH2 gene is classified as pathogenic. -

Myriad Genetics, Inc.

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is considered likely pathogenic. This variant occurs within a consensus splice junction and is predicted to result in abnormal mRNA splicing of either an out-of-frame exon or an in-frame exon necessary for protein stability and/or normal function. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 2 of the MSH2 gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or altered protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Lynch Syndrome (PMID: 16395668, 31615790; internal data). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 91071). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 2, and produces a non-functional protein and/or introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 16395668; internal data). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Ambry Genetics

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.366+1G>T intronic variant results from a G to T substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 2 of the MSH2 gene. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. In one functional study, RNA studies have suggested that this variant leads to the skipping of exon 2 in the MSH2 gene (Auclair J et al. Hum. Mutat. 2006 Feb;27:145-54). Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic. -
