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]

MSH2 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.09910873 fraction of the gene. No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal is inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-47410374-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-47410374-T-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 450032.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr2-47410374-T-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

The c.645+2T>C variant in MSH2 has not been previously reported in individuals w ith Lynch Syndrome or in large population studies. This variant occurs in the in variant region (+/- 1,2) of the splice consensus sequence and is predicted to ca use altered splicing leading to an abnormal or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the MSH2 gene is an established disease mechanism in individuals with Lynch syndrome. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified a s pathogenic for Lynch syndrome in an autosomal dominant manner based upon absen ce from the general population and predicted impact to the protein. -

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 3 of the MSH2 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in MSH2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15849733, 24362816). 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: 16884359). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 450032). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site is associated with altered splicing resulting in multiple RNA products (Invitae). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.645+2T>C intronic variant results from a T to C substitution two nucleotides after coding exon 3 in the MSH2 gene. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to result in aberrant splicing. In silico splice site analysis for this alteration is inconclusive; however, RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in abnormal splicing in the set of samples tested (Ambry internal data). The resulting transcript is in-frame and is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNAdecay; however, direct evidence is unavailable. The exact functional effect of the altered amino acid sequence is unknown; however, the impacted region is critical for protein function (Ambry internal data). 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. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
