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 3.7, offset of 11, new splice context is: ttatttcacattgaatttAGtgg. 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 2-47429741-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-47429741-G-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 90524.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars. Variant chr2-47429741-G-C is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic]. Variant chr2-47429741-G-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Ambry Genetics

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.1077-1G>C intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to C substitution one nucleotide upstream from coding exon 7 of the MSH2 gene. This alteration has been reported in an individual diagnosed with colon cancer at age 36 whose tumor showed microsatellite instability and absent MSH2 staining on IHC (Canard G et al. Ann. Surg. Oncol., 2012 Mar;19:809-16). 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. -

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant causes a G to C nucleotide substitution at the -1 position of intron 6 of the MSH2 gene. Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may have a significant impact on RNA splicing. Although this prediction has not been confirmed in published RNA studies, this variant is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of MSH2 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Myriad Genetics, Inc.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

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]. -

Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The variant disrupts a canonical splice site, and is therefore predicted to result in the loss of a functional protein. Found in at least one patient with expected phenotype for this gene, and found in general population data at a frequency that is consistent with pathogenicity. -
