This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance as there is insufficient evidence to determine its impact on protein function and/or cancer risk. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2
The p.G72E pathogenic mutation (also known as c.215G>A), located in coding exon 3 of the PMS2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 215. The glycine at codon 72 is replaced by glutamic acid, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been observed in several individuals whose colorectal tumors demonstrated high microsatellite instability and/or loss of PMS2 expression on immunohistochemistry (IHC); however, this alteration has also been observed in an individual whose colorectal tumor was microsatellite stable and demonstrated normal mismatch repair protein expression on IHC (Li S et al. J. Med. Genet. 2020 Jan;57:62-69; Ambry internal data; Pearlman R et al. JAMA Oncol. 2017 Apr;3:464-471). This alteration was observed in conjunction with a pathogenic PMS2 alteration in a patient diagnosed with colon cancer at age 16; the tumor had high microsatellite instability and equivocal PMS2 expression on IHC (Ambry internal data). Based on internal structural analysis using published crystal structures, this alteration leads to destabilization of the N-terminal ATPase domain (Guarné A et al. EMBO J. 2001 Oct;20:5521-31). This alteration was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the supporting evidence, this variant is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
This missense variant replaces glycine with glutamic acid at codon 72 in the ATPase domain 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 reported in multiple individuals affected with colorectal cancer or Lynch syndrome-associated cancer, with some tumors confirmed as demonstrating loss of PMS2 protein expression via immunohistochemistry and/or high microsatellite instability (PMID: 27978560; ClinVar: SCV000674263.4, SCV001507200.4). Of note, this variant was also detected in one individual affected with colorectal cancer who exhibited normal immunohistochemistry and microsatellite stability (ClinVar: SCV000674263.4). The variant has also been observed in an individual who also carried another pathogenic PMS2 variant who was diagnosed with colon cancer at age 16 that displayed high microsatellite instability (ClinVar: SCV000674263.4). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
not provided Pathogenic:1Uncertain:1
This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). The variant has been reported in individuals with a Lynch Syndrome related cancer (PMID: 27978560 (2016)). Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is damaging. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic. -
Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Observed in individuals with mismatch repair (MMR)-deficient colon cancer and segregated with disease in one family (Pearlman 2017); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 27978560, 11574484, 30161022, 30877237, 31422818, 27535533) -
Lynch syndrome Pathogenic:1
The p.Gly72Glu variant in PM2 has been reported in 4 individuals with Lynch syndrome associated cancers such as colorectal cancer and segregated with disease in 1 affected individual from (Pearlman 2017, GeneDx per. Comm., Ambry per. Comm., Invitae per. Comm., LMM data, ClinVar Variation ID: 182808). In addition, tumors sampled from 3 of these individuals showed either high microsatellite instability or lacked PMS2 expression, while 1 tumor showed normal PMS2 expression. This variant was absent from large population studies. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal dominant Lynch syndrome based on case observations, absence from the general population, and functional and computational evidence. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PS4_supporting, PM2, PS3. -
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Pathogenic:1
This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 72 of the PMS2 protein (p.Gly72Glu). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with colorectal cancer and uterine cancer (PMID: 27978560; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 182808). Invitae Evidence Modeling incorporating data from in vitro experimental studies (internal data) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt PMS2 function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
