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:3

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Nov 16, 2023	The p.M672R variant (also known as c.2015T>G), located in coding exon 13 of the MSH2 gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 2015. The methionine at codon 672 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with similar properties. The yeast equivalent of this variant demonstrated an increased mutation rate in a multiplexed functional assay performed using Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Ollodart AR et al. Genetics, 2021 Jun;218). 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 alteration was seen in 1/732 breast cancer patients, 0/189 colorectal cancer patients and 0/490 cancer-free elderly controls in a Turkish population (Akcay IM et al. Int J Cancer, 2021 Jan;148:285-295). 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	Apr 26, 2023	This missense variant replaces methionine with arginine at codon 672 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). This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with MSH2-related disorders in the literature. This variant has not been identified 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. -

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Published functional studies are conflicting: some exhibit restored mismatch repair (MMR) function in an MSH2 knockout cell line and others show increased mutation rate compared to wildtype in yeast (Jia et al., 2020; Ollodart et al., 2021); Observed in individuals with a personal history of breast cancer (Akcay et al., 2020); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 18822302, 21120944, 33357406, 32658311, 33848333) -

In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this missense change on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (Invitae). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects MSH2 function (PMID: 33848333). Advanced modeling performed at Invitae incorporating data from internal and/or published experimental studies (PMID: 33357406) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt MSH2 function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 186664). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MSH2-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 672 of the MSH2 protein (p.Met672Arg). -
