The ENST00000265849.12(PMS2):c.755G>A(p.Cys252Tyr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000349 in 1,606,212 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. 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. C252R) 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]

Variant summary: PMS2 c.755G>A (p.Cys252Tyr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the C-terminal domain of PMS2 (IPR013507) that functions in promoting dimerization (InterPro). Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The observed variant frequency within South Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 4.58 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in PMS2 causing Lynch Syndrome phenotype (0.00011), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of South Asian origin, however the technology utilized for this dataset does not rule out pseudogene interference and thus this data cannot be relied upon. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.755G>A in individuals affected with Lynch Syndrome and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Co-occurrences with another likely pathogenic PMS2 variant have been found in two internal samples (PMS2 c.1908delA, p.Gln637fsX28), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, and both of them classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, this variant is classified as VUS-possibly benign, until additional information becomes available. -

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. -

This missense variant replaces cysteine with tyrosine at codon 252 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 not been reported in individuals affected with PMS2-related disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 18/250288 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. -

This missense variant replaces cysteine with tyrosine at codon 252 of the PMS2 protein. Computational prediction tool 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). Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has been identified in 18/250288 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 missense variant in c.755G>A (p.Cys252Tyr) in PMS2 gene has been submitted to ClinVar as a Variant of Uncertain Significance, but no details are available for independent assessment. The p.Cys252Tyr variant is reported with the allele frequency of 0.007192% in gnomAD Exome and is novel (not in any individuals) in 1000 Genomes. The amino acid Cys at position 252 is changed to a Tyr changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. The amino acid change p.Cys252Tyr in PMS2 is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Uncertain Significance. -
