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]

Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano
Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

To the best of our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the published literature. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000008 (2/251440 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

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

Published functional studies demonstrate no damaging effect: exhibits sensitivity to 6-TG and mismatch repair (MMR) function similar to wild-type (PMID: 33357406); 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; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 36550560, 18822302, 21120944, 33357406) -

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

The MSH2 c.1937A>C; p.Asp646Ala variant (rs41295290), to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature but is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 237377). This variant is only observed on two alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The aspartic acid at codon 646 is highly conserved, and computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.554). However, given the lack of clinical and functional data, the significance of the p.Asp646Ala variant is uncertain at this time. -

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. -

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

This missense variant replaces aspartic acid with alanine at codon 646 of the MSH2 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). This variant does not impact MSH2 function in a 6-thioguanine sensitivity assay in haploid human cells (internally defined LOF score threshold <= -1.32, PMID: 33357406). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals affected with MSH2-related disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 2/251440 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. -
