Genes affected

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]

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant deletes 1 nucleotide in exon 11 of the PMS2 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been observed in trans with a PMS2 truncation variant in an individual affected with constitutional mismatch repair deficiency syndrome (PMID: 30013564, 32642664), and another individual affected with colon cancer who also had a pathogenic MSH2 covariant (PMID: 29596542). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of PMS2 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.1239delA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 11 of the PMS2 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at position 1239, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.D414Tfs*34). This alteration has been reported in conjunction with another pathogenic PMS2 mutation in a child with constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (CMMRD) (Tesch VK et al. Front Immunol, 2018 Jul;9:1506). This mutation was also reported in one individual with endometrial cancer out of 10030 individuals undergoing hereditary cancer panel testing through a clinical laboratory (Susswein LR et al. Genet. Med. 2016 Aug;18:823-32). In addition, this mutation has been identified as somatic in multiple mismatch repair deficient tumors, but in some cases was thought to be the result of MSI rather than the cause (Hampel H et al. JAMA Oncol, 2018 Jun;4:806-813; Antonarakis ES et al. Eur. Urol., 2019 03;75:378-382; Kim JE et al. J Mol Diagn, 2019 Mar;21:241-250). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 1239del and Asp414Thrfs*34 in published literature. In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asp414Thrfs*34) in the PMS2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PMS2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 21376568, 24362816). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 31992580). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1171824). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
