Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000251.3(MSH2):c.1007dupC(p.Gln337SerfsTer7) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.
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]
Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.
PVS1
Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP5
Variant 2-47416356-A-AC is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-47416356-A-AC is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 455468.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln337Serfs*7) in the MSH2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with MSH2-related disease. Loss-of-function variants in MSH2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15849733, 24362816). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
