PMS2 (HGNC:9122): (PMS1 homolog 2, mismatch repair system component) The protein encoded by this gene is a key component of the mismatch repair system that functions to correct DNA mismatches and small insertions and deletions that can occur during DNA replication and homologous recombination. This protein forms heterodimers with the gene product of the mutL homolog 1 (MLH1) gene to form the MutL-alpha heterodimer. The MutL-alpha heterodimer possesses an endonucleolytic activity that is activated following recognition of mismatches and insertion/deletion loops by the MutS-alpha and MutS-beta heterodimers, and is necessary for removal of the mismatched DNA. There is a DQHA(X)2E(X)4E motif found at the C-terminus of the protein encoded by this gene that forms part of the active site of the nuclease. Mutations in this gene have been associated with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC; also known as Lynch syndrome) and Turcot syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2016]

In the published literature, the variant has been reported in individuals with a Lynch Syndrome associated cancer (PMID: 31391288 (2020)) and breast cancer (PMID: 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/PMS2)). This variant has also been reported in unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/PMS2)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00007 (8/113710 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

The p.V501M variant (also known as c.1501G>A), located in coding exon 11 of the PMS2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1501. The valine at codon 501 is replaced by methionine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Variant summary: PMS2 c.1501G>A (p.Val501Met) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.2e-05 in 403526 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 7.7e-05 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database (v2.1.1 exomes- and v3.1.2 genomes dataset). The observed variant frequency within Non-Finnish European control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately equal to the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in PMS2 causing Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer phenotype (7.1e-05), suggesting that the variant may be a benign polymorphism. However, the variant is located in a region that is highly homologous to a PMS2 pseudogene and the technology utilized for these datasets does not rule out pseudogene interference, therefore these data might not be reliable. The variant, c.1501G>A, has been reported in the literature as a germline variant in an individual affected with a tumor that belongs to the Lynch syndrome spectrum (Li_2020), and in another individual affected with breast cancer, but was also found in healthy controls (Dorling_2021, through LOVD). In addition, the variant was reported as a somatic occurrence in a Lynch syndrome-associated tumor (Vargas-Parra_2017). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Seven other clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014, and classified the variant as VUS (n=6) or likely benign (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

The PMS2 c.1501G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Val501Met. This variant has been identified as a somatic variant in the tumor of an individual with Lynch-like syndrome (Vargas-Parra et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28577310). This variant is reported in 0.0070% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD and has conflicting interpretations of pathogenicity of likely benign and uncertain in the ClinVar database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/127762/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 501 of the PMS2 protein (p.Val501Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs540287433, gnomAD 0.006%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PMS2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 127762). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt PMS2 protein 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. -
