The NM_000535.7(PMS2):āc.823C>Gā(p.Gln275Glu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000273 in 1,612,770 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 14/23 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. Q275H) 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]

The p.Q275E variant (also known as c.823C>G), located in coding exon 8 of the PMS2 gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 823. The glutamine at codon 275 is replaced by glutamic acid, an amino acid with highly similar properties. In one study, the effect of the c.823C>G variant on splicing was analyzed using a minigene assay which generated two aberrant transcripts due to the use of a cryptic splice acceptor site that was stronger than the canonical splice site; however, patient RNA was not available for direct analysis (van der Klift HM et al. Mol Genet Genomic Med. 2015 Jul;3:327-45). In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice acceptor site. RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in an incomplete splice defect; the clinical impact of this abnormal splicing is unknown at this time (Ambry internal data). This nucleotide position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

This missense variant replaces glutamine with glutamic acid at codon 275 of the PMS2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). Splice site prediction tools are inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on RNA splicing. A minigene assay has shown that this variant causes abnormal RNA splicing and creates two aberrant transcripts (PMID: 26247049). However, this observation has not been confirmed using RNA from carriers. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with a PMS2-related disorder (Color internal data). This variant has been identified in 23/282824 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. -

Variant summary: PMS2 c.823C>G (p.Gln275Glu) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the DNA mismatch repair protein family, N-terminal domain of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Two predict the variant creates an alternative 3 prime acceptor site. At least one publication reports experimental evidence that this variant affects mRNA splicing (van der Klift_2015). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-05 in 251410 control chromosomes. The observed variant frequency is slightly higher than 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 is benign. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.823C>G in individuals affected with Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer has been reported. Five clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation (likely benign n=1, VUS n=4). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
