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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 4.6, offset of 11, new splice context is: ttatttctgattgaatttAGtgg. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-47429740-A-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-47429740-A-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 90530.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars. Variant chr2-47429740-A-T is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic]. Variant chr2-47429740-A-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

This variant is considered pathogenic. This variant occurs within a consensus splice junction and is predicted to result in abnormal mRNA splicing of either an out-of-frame exon or an in-frame exon necessary for protein stability and/or normal function. This variant is strongly associated with more severe personal and family histories of cancer, typical for individuals with pathogenic variants in this gene [PMID: 27363726]. -

This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 6 of the MSH2 gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with Lynch Syndrome (PMID: 12200596, 14970868, 15849733, 24278394, 31615790). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 90530). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in activation of a cryptic splice site and introduces a premature termination codon (Invitae). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.1077-2A>T intronic pathogenic mutation results from an A to T substitution two nucleotides upstream from coding exon 7 in the MSH2 gene. This alteration was reported in a proband whose colorectal tumor demonstrated high microsatellite instability (MSI-H) and loss of MSH2 expression on immunohistochemistry (IHC) (Ward R et al. J. Cancer Res. Clin. Oncol., 2002 Aug;128:403-11). RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in abnormal splicing in the set of samples tested (Ambry internal data). Another alteration at the same nucleotide position, c.1077-2A>C, has been reported as pathogenic based on being identified in a proband meeting clinical diagnostic criteria for Lynch syndrome and functional RNA studies demonstrated abnormal splicing for this variant (Ambry internal data; De Lellis L, PLoS ONE 2013 ; 8(11):e81194). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as a disease-causing mutation. -
