Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points: 4P and 0B. PM2PM5
The NM_000251.3(MSH2):c.1654A>T(p.Thr552Ser) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000205 in 1,461,120 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. T552P) has been classified as Pathogenic.
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]
