Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -5 ACMG points: 0P and 5B. BP4_StrongBP6
The NM_000535.7(PMS2):c.353+6A>G variant causes a splice region, intron change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000133 in 1,492,036 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 1 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars).
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.353+6A>G variant has been reported in the published literature in an individual with colorectal cancer (PMID: 28135145 (2017)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00022 (11/49116 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using software algorithms for the prediction of the effect of nucleotide changes on splicing yielded predictions that this variant does not affect PMS2 mRNA splicing. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

DNA sequence analysis of the PMS2 gene demonstrated a sequence change in intron 4, c.353+6A>G. This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database with a frequency of 0.011% in the European sub-population (dbSNP rs376449640). The c.353+6A>G change has been observed in the literature in one individual with colorectal cancer (PMID: 28135145). This sequence change is not clearly predicted to have a deleterious effect on splicing based on in silico splice prediction programs and is located in a domain of the PMS2 protein that is not known to be functional. It is possible that this sequence change represents a benign sequence change in the PMS2 gene that has not been identified to date. The functional significance of this sequence change is not known at present and its contribution to a disease phenotype cannot definitively be determined. -

Variant summary: PMS2 c.353+6A>G alters a nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. 4/4 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 6e-05 in 234546 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in PMS2 causing Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer (6e-05 vs 7.1e-05), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.353+6A>G has been reported in the literature in one individual affected with colorectal cancer (Yurgelun_2017). The report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Ten clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as benign (n=1), likely benign (n=3) and VUS (n=6). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
