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]

Significance:Benign

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

Variant summary: MSH2 c.1277-16T>C alters a non-conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. 4/4 computational 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 0.00018 in 393652 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00034 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database (v2.1 and v3.1 datasets). This frequency is somewhat lower than the maximum expected for a pathogenic variant in MSH2 causing Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer (0.00057), however the variant still might represent a benign polymorphism. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.1277-16T>C in individuals affected with Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Three other clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, and all of them classified the variant as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

Myriad Genetics, Inc.

Significance:Benign

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is considered benign. This variant is intronic and is not expected to impact mRNA splicing. This variant is strongly associated with less severe personal and family histories of cancer, typical for individuals without pathogenic variants in this gene [PMID: 27363726]. -

Significance:Likely benign

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

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. -
