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 Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a region_of_interest Interaction with EXO1 (size 70) in uniprot entity MSH2_HUMAN there are 24 pathogenic changes around while only 4 benign (86%) in NM_000251.3
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr2-47475186-T-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.933

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:3

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Sep 27, 2023	The p.C641Y variant (also known as c.1922G>A), located in coding exon 12 of the MSH2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1922. The cysteine at codon 641 is replaced by tyrosine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. 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 Jan;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. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Aug 08, 2023	This missense variant replaces cysteine with tyrosine at codon 641 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 does not impact MSH2 function in a 6-thioguanine sensitivity assay in haploid human cells (internally defined LOF score threshold <= -1.32, PMID: 33357406). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals affected with MSH2-related disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 1/251456 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. -

This variant is denoted MSH2 c.1922G>A at the cDNA level, p.Cys641Tyr (C641Y) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Cysteine to a Tyrosine (TGT>TAT). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. MSH2 Cys641Tyr was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, suggesting it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Cysteine and Tyrosine differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. MSH2 Cys641Tyr occurs at a position that is conserved across species and is located in ATPase domain as well as in the region of interaction with EXO1 (Lützen 2008, UniProt). In silico analyses predict that this variant is probably damaging to protein structure and function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether MSH2 Cys641Tyr is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -
