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]

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases did not allow this variant to be ruled in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

The MSH2 p.Tyr757= variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the COGR, Cosmic, Zhejiang University Database, Mismatch Repair Genes Variant Database, and in Insight Hereditary Tumors databases. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs56076152) as "With Likely benign allele", ClinVar (classified as likely benign by Ambry Genetics, Invitae, Color Genomics), and in UMD-LSDB (1x as unclassified variant), databases. The variant was identified in control databases in 30 of 277180 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0001 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 3 of 24034 chromosomes (freq: 0.0001), Other in 2 of 6462 chromosomes (freq: 0.0003), Latino in 2 of 34420 chromosomes (freq: 0.00006), European in 6 of 126688 chromosomes (freq: 0.000047), Ashkenazi Jewish in 6 of 10152 chromosomes (freq: 0.00059), East Asian in 11 of 18870 chromosomes (freq: 0.00058), while the variant was not observed in the Finnish, and South Asian populations. The p.Tyr757= variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it does not result in a change of amino acid and is not located in a known consensus splice site. In addition, in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. -
