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

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases did not allow this variant to be ruled in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

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. -

MSH2, EXON01, c.198C>T, p.= (p.Tyr66Tyr), Heterozygous, Likely benign rnrnThe MSH2 c.198C>T variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the COSMIC, â€šÃ„ÃºMismatch Repair Genes Variant Databaseâ€šÃ„Ã¹, â€šÃ„ÃºMMR Gene Unclassified Variants Databaseâ€šÃ„Ã¹, InSiGHT Colon Cancer Gene Variant Database (LOVD), Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database (LOVD) and GeneInsight - COGR database. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs730881784) as â€šÃ„ÃºWith Likely benign alleleâ€šÃ„Ã¹, ClinVar database (classified as benign by GeneDx and likely benign by Ambry Genetics and Invitae) and UMD (1x with an â€šÃ„Ãºunclassified variantâ€šÃ„Ã¹ classification). This variant was identified in the Exome Aggregation Consortium database (August 8, 2016) in 11 of 83058 chromosomes (freq. 0.0001) in the following populations: European in 11 of 47956 chromosomes (freq. 0.0002), increasing the likelihood that this may be a low frequency benign variant in certain populations of origin. The p.Tyr66Tyr variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it does not result in a change of amino acid and is not located in a known consensus splice site. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 2 of 5 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. -
