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, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-47445546-A-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-47445546-A-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 90604.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars. Variant chr2-47445546-A-C is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

This variant is considered likely 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. -

The c.1277-2A>C intronic pathogenic mutation results from an A to C substitution two nucleotides upstream from coding exon 8 in the MSH2 gene. This variant has been identified in a proband who met Amsterdam II criteria for Lynch syndrome (Cravo M et al. Gut, 2002 Mar;50:405-12; Lage PA et al. Cancer, 2004 Jul;101:172-7). Other alterations impacting the same acceptor site (c.1277-1G>A and c.1277-2A>G) have been detected in individuals meeting either Amsterdam criteria or Bethesda guidelines for hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC)/Lynch syndrome (Sheng JQ et al. Chin J Dig Dis, 2006;7:197-205; Sjursen W et al. J. Med. Genet., 2010 Sep;47:579-85). In addition, this variant has been identified in probands whose Lynch syndrome-associated tumor demonstrated high microsatellite instability and loss of MSH2 expression by immunohistochemistry (Cravo M et al. Gut, 2002 Mar;50:405-12; Ambry internal data). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice acceptor site and will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice acceptor site. 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. -
