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:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.P439A variant (also known as c.1315C>G), located in coding exon 8 of the MSH2 gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 1315. The proline at codon 439 is replaced by alanine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. In a massively parallel cell-based functional assay testing susceptibility to a DNA damaging agent, 6-thioguanine (6-TG), this variant was reported to be functionally neutral (Jia X et al. Am J Hum Genet, 2021 Jan;108:163-175). This amino acid position is highly conserved on limited sequence alignment. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

This missense variant replaces proline with alanine at codon 439 of the MSH2 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). This variant has intermediate MSH2 function in a 6-thioguanine sensitivity assay in haploid human cells (internally defined LOF score threshold -1.32 < LOF score < 0.88, PMID: 33357406). This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with MSH2-related disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 2/250892 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. -

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; Published functional studies suggest a neutral effect: demonstrates sensitivity to 6-TG and mismatch repair (MMR) function similar to wild-type (PMID: 33357406); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 33357406, 36243179) -
