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: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant disrupts a canonical splice-acceptor site and interferes with normal PMS2 mRNA splicing. This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). In the published literature, the variant has been reported in individuals with Lynch Syndrome related colorectal cancer (PMIDs: 25512458 (2015), 29758216 (2018), and 34178123 (2021)), constitutional mismatch repair deficiency syndrome (CMMRD) (PMID: 26318770 (2015)), and breast cancer (PMID: 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (https://databases.lovd.nl/shared/variants/PMS2)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 4 of the PMS2 gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or altered protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with clinical features of PMS2-related conditions (PMID: 25512458, 26318770, 29758216, 34178123; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 187726). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in activation of a cryptic splice site, and produces a non-functional protein and/or introduces a premature termination codon (internal data). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.354-1G>A intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide upstream from coding exon 5 of the PMS2 gene. This variant has been reported in the literature in a Lynch syndrome family of Dutch ancestry (ten Broeke SW et al. J. Clin. Oncol., 2015 Feb;33:319-25). This mutation was identified in conjunction with another PMS2 mutation in a patient with constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (CMMRD); features included cafe au lait macules, colon polyps, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and colon cancer. Authors report high microsatellite instability and weak PMS2 staining in this individual's tumor by IHC (Lavoine N et al. J. Med. Genet. 2015 Nov;52:770-8). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this variant will weaken the native splice acceptor site. RNA studies have demonstrated that this variant results in abnormal splicing in the set of samples tested (Ambry internal data). Variants that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this variant is classified as a disease-causing mutation. -
