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]

DNA sequence analysis of the MSH2 gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.2558A>G, in exon 15 that results in an amino acid change, p.Glu853Gly. This sequence change has been described in gnomAD with a low population frequency of 0.00040% (dbSNP rs63750797). The p.Glu853Gly change affects a moderately conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the MSH2 protein that is known to be functional. In-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL) provide contradictory results for the p.Glu853Gly substitution. This sequence change has been previously reported in individuals and families with colorectal cancer (PMID: 21642682, 25559809) and ovarian cancer (PMID: 23047549). Due to the lack of sufficient evidences, the clinical significance of the p.Glu853Gly change remains unknown at this time.

The MSH2 c.2558A>G; p.Glu853Gly variant (rs63750797) is reported in the literature in individuals with colorectal cancer (Bonadona 2011, Chubb 2015) and an individual with ovarian cancer (Pal 2012). This variant is classified as uncertain by multiple laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID: 91000). It is found in the general population at a very low allele frequency of 0.0004% (1/246240 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The glutamate at codon 853 is moderately conserved, but computational algorithms (SIFT: Damaging, PolyPhen2: Benign) predict conflicting effects of this variant on the protein. Due to limited information, the clinical significance of the p.Glu853Gly variant is uncertain at this time. REFERENCES Bonadona V et al.

This variant is denoted MSH2 c.2558A>G at the cDNA level, p.Glu853Gly (E853G) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Glutamic Acid to a Glycine (GAG>GGG). This variant was observed in one woman with epithelial ovarian cancer and one family with Lynch syndrome-associated cancers (Bonadona 2011, Pal 2012). MSH2 Glu853Gly was not observed in large population cohorts (NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, The 1000 Genomes Consortium 2015, Lek 2016). Since Glutamic Acid and Glycine differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. MSH2 Glu853Gly occurs at a position that is conserved across species and is located in the ATPase domain (Lutzen 2008). In silico analyses predict that this variant is probably damaging to protein structure and function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether MSH2 Glu853Gly is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance.

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces glutamic acid with glycine at codon 853 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 been reported in individuals affected with ovarian cancer (PMID: 23047549) and Lynch-syndrome-associated cancer (PMID: 21642682, 25559809). This variant has been identified in 1/251450 chromosomes 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.

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 sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 853 of the MSH2 protein (p.Glu853Gly). This variant is present in population databases (rs63750797, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with colorectal cancer (PMID: 21642682, 23047549, 25559809). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 91000). 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 with a negative predictive value of 80%. 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.
