Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points: 3P and 0B. PM5PP3
The NM_000535.7(PMS2):c.320G>A(p.Arg107Gln) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000047 in 1,446,152 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R107W) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.
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]

This missense variant replaces arginine with glutamine at codon 107 of the PMS2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been observed in individuals affected with Lynch syndrome-associated cancer (PMID: 14756672, 28135145). In a pancreatic cancer case-control study the variant was reported in an unaffected control and absent in cases (PMID: 32980694), and in a breast cancer case-control study it was reported in two cases and three unaffected controls (PMID: 33471991). This variant has been identified in 10/236632 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). A different variant affecting the same codon, c.319C>T (p.Arg107Trp), is considered to be disease-causing (ClinVar variation ID: 127789), suggesting this position is important for the protein function. 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 p.R107Q variant (also known as c.320G>A), located in coding exon 4 of the PMS2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 320. The arginine at codon 107 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. In one study, this variant was reported in 1/1058 individuals with colon cancer (Yurgelun MB et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2017 Apr;35:1086-1095). In another study, this variant was reported in a proband whose family history met Amsterdam I/II criteria for Lynch syndrome (Thompson E et al. Clin. Genet., 2004 Mar;65:215-25). In another study, this alteration was not detected in 1,005 pancreatic cancer patients but was seen with a carrier frequency of 0.00004 in 23,705 controls from Biobank Japan (Mizukami K et al. EBioMedicine, 2020 Oct;60:103033). This variant was also reported in 2/60,466 breast cancer cases and in 3/53,461 controls (Dorling et al. N Engl J Med. 2021 02;384:428-439). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Variant summary: PPMS2 c.320G>A (p.Arg107Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the DNA mismatch repair protein family, N-terminal domain (IPR002099) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.2e-05 in 236632 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in PMS2 causing Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer (4.2e-05 vs 7.1e-05), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.320G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer (Thompson_2004, Yurgelun_2017). These reports do 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. Six ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

The PMS2 c.320G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg107Gln. This variant was reported in an individual with colorectal cancer (Yurgelun et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28135145) as well as a control individual from a study of patient with biliary tract cancer (Okawa et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 36243179). This variant is reported in 0.016% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD, and is classified as a variant of uncertain significance by many labs in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/91351/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 107 of the PMS2 protein (p.Arg107Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs63751284, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Lynch syndrome, breast and uterus cancer (PMID: 28135145, 34326862). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 91351). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt PMS2 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this missense change on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (Invitae). 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. -
