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]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

Variant summary: PMS2 c.384G>A alters a non-conserved nucleotide resulting in a synonymous change. 4/5 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.9e-05 in 121588 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. However, the region is highly homologous to PMS2 pseudogenes, and the technology utilized for this dataset does not rule out pseudogene interference making ExAC and gnomAD data unreliable for assessing variant frequency. c.384G>A has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with Lynch Syndrome, however in this case a co-occurring pathogenic variant (PMS2 c.164-2A>G) was also present (in cis), providing supporting evidence for a benign role (Borras 2013). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Five clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as benign/likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Benign:4

Spanish MMR Variant Interpretation Working Group
Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The PMS2 variant c.384G>A is a silent variant (p.Ser128=) (BP7). It has an allele frequency of 0.0055% in the gnomAD v4.1.0, with a maximal credible allele frequency of 0.0053% (no criterion is met). This variant is not predicted to affect splicing according to MaxEntScan, NNSplice, and SpliceAI algorithms (BP4). There is one study that shows no effect on mRNA splicing or differential allelic expression (RT-PCR of patient RNA treated with NMD inhibitor and allele-specific expression assay) (Borras 2013 PMID 23709753) (BS3). This variant has been reported in a patient in our Spanish cohort affected with synchronous CRC showing PMS2 loss, co-occurring with a pathogenic PMS2 variant, although no clinical features suggestive of CMMRD. Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Benign (Class 2). -

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

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. -
