Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points: 3P and 0B. PM2PP3
The NM_000535.7(PMS2):c.949C>A(p.Gln317Lys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000329 in 152,082 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. Q317R) has been classified as Uncertain significance.
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]

This missense variant replaces glutamine with lysine at codon 317 of the PMS2 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with an unspecified advanced cancer (PMID: 28873162). This variant has been identified in 1/251288 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. -

The p.Q317K variant (also known as c.949C>A), located in coding exon 9 of the PMS2 gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 949. The glutamine at codon 317 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This variant is denoted PMS2 c.949C>A at the cDNA level, p.Gln317Lys (Q317K) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Glutamine to a Lysine (CAG>AAG). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. PMS2 Gln317Lys was not observed at a significant allele frequency in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). PMS2 Gln317Lys is located within the ATPase domain (Guarne 2001). In-silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether PMS2 Gln317Lys is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

This sequence change replaces glutamine, which is neutral and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 317 of the PMS2 protein (p.Gln317Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs143277125, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with advanced cancer of an unspecified type (PMID: 28873162). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 418758). 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 expected to disrupt PMS2 protein function with a positive 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. -
