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]

This missense variant replaces lysine with glutamic acid at codon 16 of the PMS2 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with gastric cancer (PMID: 36627197). This variant has been identified in an individual undergoing genetic testing for hereditary cancer (PMID: 31159747). This variant has been identified in 3/245504 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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.K16E variant (also known as c.46A>G), located in coding exon 2 of the PMS2 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 46. The lysine at codon 16 is replaced by glutamic acid, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration was detected once in a study of 1,165 individuals with a history of colorectal cancer or colon polyps as well as 590 controls (Gordon AS et al. Am J Hum Genet, 2019 09;105:526-533). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear.

The p.Lys16Glu variant in PMS2 has not been previously reported in the literatur e individuals with Lynch syndrome, but has been reported in ClinVar (Variation I D 232676). It has also been identified in 3/17104 of East Asian chromosomes by t he Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs777845808). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest t hat the p.Lys16Glu variant may not impact the protein, though this information i s not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, the clinical sign ificance of the p.Lys16Glu variant is uncertain.

This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 16 of the PMS2 protein (p.Lys16Glu). This variant is present in population databases (rs777845808, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of PMS2-related conditions (PMID: 31159747). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 232676). 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%. 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.
