Lynch syndrome 1 Uncertain:4
- -
This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance as there is insufficient evidence to determine its impact on protein function and/or cancer risk. -
This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

not provided Uncertain:3
Observed in trans with a pathogenic variant in an individual without CMMRD (PMID: 36550560); Published functional studies demonstrate no damaging effect: demonstrates sensitivity to 6-TG and mismatch repair (MMR) function similar to wild-type (PMID: 33357406); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 31159747, 18822302, 21120944, 36790526, 29212164, 36550560, 33357406) -
The MSH2 c.716A>G (p.Gln239Arg) variant has been reported in the published literature in an individual with colorectal cancer (PMID: 29212164 (2017)) and in an individual undergoing hereditary cancer genetic testing (PMID: 31159747 (2019)). A screening assay based on cell survival in response to 6-thioguanine treatment indicates this and other missense variants at this codon have neutral effects on DNA mismatch repair function (PMID: 33357406 (2021)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000012 (3/251394 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2Benign:1
This missense variant replaces glutamine with arginine at codon 239 of the MSH2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function. This variant did not impact MSH2 function in a 6-thioguanine sensitivity assay in haploid human cells (PMID: 33357406). This variant has been reported in an individual affected with colorectal cancer showing microsatellite stability and positive immunohistochemistry results (PMID: 29212164) and an individual referred for hereditary cancer screening (PMID: 31159747). This variant has been identified in 3/251394 chromosomes 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. -
- -
This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
not specified Uncertain:2
Variant summary: MSH2 c.716A>G (p.Gln239Arg) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the DNA mismatch repair protein MutS, connector domain (IPR007860) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 251394 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.716A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals with suspected Lynch Syndrome or suspected constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (e.g. Raskin_2017, Tsaousis_2019, Hamideh_2023). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 29212164, 31159747, 36790526, 36550560). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 182589). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

This missense variant replaces glutamine with arginine at codon 239 of the MSH2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). This variant does not impact MSH2 function in a 6-thioguanine sensitivity assay in haploid human cells (internally defined LOF score threshold <= -1.32, PMID: 33357406). This variant has been reported in an individual affected with colorectal cancer showing microsatellite stability and positive immunohistochemistry results (PMID: 29212164) and an individual referred for hereditary cancer screening (PMID: 31159747). This variant has been identified in 3/251394 chromosomes 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. -
