Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points: 11P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5

The NM_000251.3(MSH2):c.2242G>C(p.Asp748His) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 12/21 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. D748N) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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 11 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 3 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 6 benign, 15 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 chr2-47478303-G-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1788302.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.99
• PP5: Variant 2-47478303-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-47478303-G-C is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 237385.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_pathogenic=2, Uncertain_significance=1}.

The p.D748H variant (also known as c.2242G>C), located in coding exon 14 of the MSH2 gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 2242. The aspartic acid at codon 748 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant has been identified in a proband whose Lynch syndrome-associated tumor demonstrated high microsatellite instability and loss of MSH2/MSH6 expression by immunohistochemistry (Ambry internal data). 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). 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. -

In summary, this is a novel missense change with uncertain impact on protein function. It has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with an MSH2-related disease. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies. This sequence change replaces aspartic acid with histidine at codon 748 of the MSH2 protein (p.Asp748His). The aspartic acid residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between aspartic acid and histidine. -
