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

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 10 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 11 benign, 38 uncertain in NM_000251.3
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr2-47416366-G-C is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 220628.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.993
• PP5: Variant 2-47416366-G-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-47416366-G-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 568928.

The p.G338V pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1013G>T), located in coding exon 6 of the MSH2 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 1013. The glycine at codon 338 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. In a massively parallel cell-based functional assay testing susceptibility to a DNA damaging agent, 6-thioguanine (6-TG), this variant was determined to be functionally deleterious (Jia X et al. Am J Hum Genet, 2021 01;108:163-175). In another functional study that measured the mutation rate of MSH2 alterations in yeast, this alteration demonstrated a 7.98-fold increase in mutation rate compared to MSH2 wild-type, which was considered potentially pathogenic (Ollodart AR et al. Genetics, 2021 Jun;218:iyab058). Based on internal structural analysis using published crystal structures, G338V is strongly destabilizing to the MSH2 MutS domain III (Warren JJ et al. Mol Cell, 2007 May;26:579-92; Ambry internal data). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with MSH2-related disease. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces glycine with valine at codon 338 of the MSH2 protein (p.Gly338Val). The glycine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between glycine and valine.
