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]

The PMS2 c.38C>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ser13Cys. In the canonical transcript (NM_000535.6), this variant is intronic (c.354-7C>G), but not predicted to significantly impact splicing (SpliceAI, Jaganathan et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 30661751). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature or in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. This variant has been interpreted as uncertain in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/851579/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence.

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with PMS2-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change falls in intron 4 of the PMS2 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the PMS2 protein.
