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]

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.R534L variant (also known as c.1601G>T), located in coding exon 10 of the MSH2 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 1601. The arginine at codon 534 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration was identified once in a cohort of 133 breast cancer patients (Lin PH et al. Oncotarget, 2016 Feb;7:8310-20) and in a woman with ovarian cancer (Xu Y et al. Front Genet, 2020 Aug;11:991). This variant was reported in a patient with mismatch repair deficient colorectal cancer diagnosed at age 33 (Fu K et al. Sci Rep, 2024 Mar;14:6702). In a massively parallel cell-based functional assay testing susceptibility to a DNA damaging agent, 6-thioguanine (6-TG), this variant was reported to be functionally neutral (Jia X et al. Am J Hum Genet, 2021 01;108:163-175). 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 available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces arginine with leucine at codon 534 of the MSH2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). This variant has intermediate MSH2 function in a 6-thioguanine sensitivity assay in haploid human cells (internally defined LOF score threshold -1.32 < LOF score < 0.88, PMID: 33357406). This variant has been reported in one individual each affected with early onset colorectal cancer (PMID: 32973888) and early onset breast cancer (PMID: 26824983). This variant has been identified in 4/251348 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
