Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PM1PM5PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000251.3(MSH2):c.1862G>T(p.Arg621Leu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000558 in 1,613,894 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R621P) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Ambry Genetics | Mar 14, 2024 | The p.R621L variant (also known as c.1862G>T), located in coding exon 12 of the MSH2 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 1862. The arginine at codon 621 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration was identified in individuals whose family history met Amsterdam I/II criteria for Lynch syndrome and/or tumors showed loss of MSH2 and/or MSH6 protein expression on immunohistochemistry (IHC) as well as high microsatellite instability (MSI-H) (Ambry internal data; Fokkema IF et al. Hum. Mutat. 2011 May;32:557-63). 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 deleterious (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 majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. - |
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health | May 17, 2023 | This missense variant replaces arginine with leucine at codon 621 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 individuals affected with Lynch syndrome or Lynch syndrome-associated disease (PMID: 21520333, 30702970; ClinVar SCV000261128.8, SCV000580563.6). Tumor samples from at least two of these individuals demonstrated a loss of MSH2 and MSH6 expression. This variant has also been reported in two individuals with unspecified cancer (PMID: 31391288). This variant has been identified in 1/31364 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Different variants affecting the same codon, c.1861C>G (p.Arg621Gly) and c.1862G>C (p.Arg621Pro), are considered to be disease-causing (ClinVar variation ID: 408524, 483736), suggesting this position is important for the protein function. Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. - |
Hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp | Mar 17, 2023 | Variant summary: MSH2 c.1862G>T (p.Arg621Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the DNA mismatch repair protein MutS, core domain (IPR007696) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251474 control chromosomes. c.1862G>T has been reported in the literature in several individuals affected with Lynch Syndrome and Lynch syndrome-associated cancers (e.g., Salvador_2019, Li_2020, Fokkema_2011). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. At least one co-occurrence with another pathogenic variant has been observed at our laboratory (MSH6 c.3699_3702delAGAA, p.Lys1233fsX6; internal testing). At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on mismatch repair (MMR) function, suggesting the variant may have a deleterious effect (e.g., Jia_2021). Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, and all laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic (n = 1)/likely pathogenic (n = 3). Based on the emerging consensus evidence outlined above, the variant was re-classified as likely pathogenic. - |

Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp | Dec 18, 2024 | This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 621 of the MSH2 protein (p.Arg621Leu). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 21520333, 30702970; internal data). Invitae Evidence Modeling of clinical and family history, age, sex, and reported ancestry of multiple individuals with this MSH2 variant has been performed. This variant is expected to be pathogenic with a positive predictive value of at least 99%. This is a validated machine learning model that incorporates the clinical features of 1,370,736 individuals referred to our laboratory for MSH2 testing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 218040). Invitae Evidence Modeling incorporating data from in vitro experimental studies (internal data) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt MSH2 function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. - |
