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: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.G669D variant (also known as c.2006G>A) is located in coding exon 13 of the MSH2 gene. The glycine at codon 669 is replaced by aspartic acid, an amino acid with similar properties. This change occurs in the first base pair of coding exon 13. This alteration was identified in a HNPCC family and the colon tumor of the proband displayed high microsatellite instability with loss of both MSH2/MSH6 expression on immunohistochemistry (IHC) (Losi L et al. Am. J. Gastroenterol., 2005 Oct;100:2280-7; de Leon MP et al. Scand. J. Gastroenterol., 2007 Jun;42:746-53; Pedroni M et al. Dis. Markers, 2007;23:179-87). This alteration was also identified as somatic in origin in conjunction with a somatic pathogenic mutation in MSH2 in a colorectal tumor that displayed loss of both MSH2/MSH6 on IHC (Ambry internal data). In a massively parallel cell-based functional assay testing susceptibility to a DNA damaging agent, 6-thioguanine (6-TG), this variant was determined to be functionally deleterious (Jia X et al. Am J Hum Genet, 2021 Jan;108:163-175). In addition, in multiple other assays testing MSH2 function, this variant showed functionally abnormal results (Drost M et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 2013 Jun;110:9403-8; Ollodart AR et al. Genetics, 2021 06;218:). Based on an internal structural assessment, this alteration disrupts the ATP-binding P-loop motif (Saraste M et al. Trends Biochem. Sci., 1990 Nov;15:430-4; Warren JJ et al. Mol. Cell, 2007 May;26:579-92). This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -

University of Washington Department of Laboratory Medicine, University of Washington

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

MSH2 NM_000251.2:c.2006G>A has a 93.3% probability of pathogenicity based on combining prior probability from public data with a likelihood ratio of 1.56 to 1, generated from evidence of seeing this as a somatic mutation in a tumor without loss of heterozygosity at the MSH2 locus. See Shirts et al 2018, PMID 29887214. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 669 of the MSH2 protein (p.Gly669Asp). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MSH2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 90852). An algorithm developed specifically for the MSH2 gene suggests that this missense change is likely to be deleterious (PMID: 18383312, 22290698). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects MSH2 function (PMID: 23690608, 28422960). This variant disrupts the c.2006G>T nucleotide in the MSH2 gene. Other variant(s) that disrupt this nucleotide have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 10612827, 21520333, 26247049, 27629256; Invitae). This suggests that this nucleotide is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this position are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
