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 12 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 6 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 14 benign, 25 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-C is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 237385.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.988
• PP5: Variant 2-47478303-G-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-47478303-G-T is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 1788302.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

The p.D748Y variant (also known as c.2242G>T), located in coding exon 14 of the MSH2 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 2242. The aspartic acid at codon 748 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 determined to be functionally deleterious (Jia X et al. Am J Hum Genet, 2021 01;108:163-175). A study of the functional significance of MSH2 missense variants using CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing in human embryonic stem cells suggests this alteration results in a stable protein but is deficient at DNA repair function and damage response signaling (Rath A et al. Hum Mutat, 2019 11;40:2044-2056). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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.
