Genes affected

MSH2 (HGNC:7325): (mutS homolog 2) This locus is frequently mutated in hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC). When cloned, it was discovered to be a human homolog of the E. coli mismatch repair gene mutS, consistent with the characteristic alterations in microsatellite sequences (RER+ phenotype) found in HNPCC. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

To the best of our knowledge, the variant has not been reported in individuals with MSH2-related conditions in the published literature. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0000048 (1/209634 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is uninformative in 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 MSH2 mRNA splicing . Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant causes a G to T nucleotide substitution at the -8 position in the 5' untranslated region of the MSH2 gene. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with MSH2-related disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 1/209634 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. -
