Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points: 4P and 1B. PM5PP3_ModerateBP6
The NM_000251.3(MSH2):āc.968C>Gā(p.Ser323Cys) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000434 in 1,612,478 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. S323F) has been classified as Uncertain significance.
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]

This variant is considered likely benign. This variant is strongly associated with less severe personal and family histories of cancer, typical for individuals without pathogenic variants in this gene [PMID: 27363726]. -

This alteration is classified as likely 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. -

This missense variant replaces serine with cysteine at codon 323 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). Functional studies in yeast showed this variant may have partial reduction in mismatch repair activity, with normal binding functions to other protein partners (PMID: 17720936). 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 Lynch syndrome (PMID: 9240418, 10404063). This variant has been identified in 3/282858 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 missense variant replaces serine with cysteine at codon 323 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). Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. Functional studies showed this variant may have partial reduction in mismatch repair (MMR) activity, with normal binding functions to other protein partners (PMID: 17720936), but expression in haploid cells resulted in normal susceptibility to a DNA damaging agent (PMID: 33357406). This variant has been reported in an individual affected with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 10404063, 9240418). This variant has been identified in 3/282858 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. -

Identified in at least two individuals with colorectal cancer, one of whom had corresponding tumors with microsatellite instability (Akiyama 1997, Bai 1999); Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek 2016); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 17720936, 25637381, 9240418, 10404063) -
