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: 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 2-47429869-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-47429869-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 90565.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars. Variant chr2-47429869-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer Pathogenic:1

Nov 14, 2022

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: MSH2 c.1204C>T (p.Gln402X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 251442 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1204C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Lynch Syndrome and pancreatic cancer (e.g. Moussa_2011, Ikenoue_2019, Gargiulo_2009). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Two ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) have classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Pathogenic:1

Jan 21, 2025

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln402*) in the MSH2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MSH2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15849733, 24362816). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 16451135, 19728162, 21311894). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 90565). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Q402* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1204C>T), located in coding exon 7 of the MSH2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1204. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 7. This mutation has been identified in several families with HNPCC/Lynch syndrome, including an Italian patient with pancreatic cancer (Kurzawski G et al. Clin. Genet. 2006 Jan;69:40-7; Gargiulo S et al. Fam. Cancer 2009;8:547-53; Moussa SA et al. Int J Colorectal Dis 2011 Apr;26:455-67; Ikenoue T et al. J Hum Genet, 2019 Dec;64:1187-1194). Of note, this alteration is also designated as Q402X and p.Gln402X in published literature. In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
