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

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 25 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 16 benign, 29 uncertain in NM_000251.3
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr2-47476421-T-C is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 90873.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.977
• PP5: Variant 2-47476421-T-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-47476421-T-G is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 1785226.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

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. This variant disrupts the p.Leu687 amino acid residue in MSH2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 20459533; Invitae). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 687 of the MSH2 protein (p.Leu687Arg). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Lynch syndrome (PMID: 30877237). Advanced modeling performed at Invitae incorporating data from internal and/or published experimental studies (PMID: 33357406) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt MSH2 function. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.L687R variant (also known as c.2060T>G), located in coding exon 13 of the MSH2 gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 2060. The leucine at codon 687 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration has been reported in an individual diagnosed with a MSI-H cecal cancer at age 51 that showed loss of MSH2 protein and reduced expression of MSH6 protein on immunohistochemistry (Pearlman R et al. Mod Pathol, 2018 12;31:1891-1900). 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 Jan;108:163-175). Based on internal structural assessment, this alteration disrupts the stability of the ATPase domain (Warren JJ et al. Mol Cell, 2007 May;26:579-92). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
