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 2-47471064-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-47471064-T-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 90768.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars. Variant chr2-47471064-T-C is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic]. Variant chr2-47471064-T-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.1759+2T>C variant of the MSH2 gene is expected to affect mRNA splicing and result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Truncating variants in MSH2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15849733, 19419416). Therefore, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 11 of the MSH2 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in a family affected with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 11772966). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 90768). Donor and acceptor splice site variants typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in MSH2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15849733, 24362816). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1

Ambry Genetics

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.1759+2T>C intronic variant results from a T to C substitution two nucleotides after coding exon 11 in the MSH2 gene. This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Using the BDGP and ESEfinder splice site prediction tools, this alteration is predicted to abolish the native splice donor site; however, direct evidence is unavailable. 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 likely pathogenic. -
