Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -10 ACMG points: 2P and 12B. PM5BP4_StrongBP6_Very_Strong

The NM_000535.7(PMS2):c.166C>G(p.Leu56Val) variant causes a missense, splice region change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000321 in 1,527,534 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 17/22 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. 1/1 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely benign (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. L56P) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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]

Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.

Significance:Likely benign

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The missense variant NM_001322014.2(PMS2):c.166C>G (p.Leu56Val) has been reported to ClinVar as Benign/Likely benign with a status of (2 stars) criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (Variation ID 127765 as of 2025-08-07). There is a small physicochemical difference between leucine and valine, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues share similar properties. The p.Leu56Val variant is not predicted to disrupt the existing acceptor splice site 3bp upstream by any splice site algorithm. The p.Leu56Val missense variant is predicted to be tolerated by both SIFT or PolyPhen2. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Likely Benign.

Variant summary: PMS2 c.166C>G (p.Leu56Val) 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 benign effect of the variant on protein function. Consensus agreement among computation 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 3.3e-05 in 1528896 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00042 within the East Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within East Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 5.9 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in PMS2 causing Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer/Lynch Syndrome phenotype (7.1e-05), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of East Asian origin. c.166C>G has been reported in the literature in individuals who had a personal- and/or family history of colorectal cancer (Jiang_2019, Li_2019, Jiang_2020) or other tumor or cancer phenotypes (e.g. Mu_2016, Maxwell_2014, Pannuti_2018, Chan_2018, Wu_2021), but was also found in healthy controls (Bodian_2014). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer/Lynch Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 24728327, 30093976, 32914570, 30521064, 30166348, 31391288, 25503501, 27720647, 29570743, 34350294). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 127765). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign.
