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]

The p.Arg711X variant has been previously reported in the literature in numerous publications in families with Lynch syndrome (selected publications: Levati 1998, Mangold 2005, Parc 2003, Tanyi 2008). This variant leads to a premature stop codon at position 711, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. Loss of function variants of the MSH2 gene are an established mechanism of Lynch syndrome and this is the type of DNA alteration expected to cause the disorder. In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathogenic.

The variant creates a premature nonsense codon, and is therefore predicted to result in the loss of a functional protein. Found in at least one patient with expected phenotype for this gene, and found in general population data at a frequency that is consistent with pathogenicity. Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function.

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 13 of the MSH2 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in individuals and families affected with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 15849733, 16451135, 17312306, 17569143, 18289827, 19419416, 28874130, 29575718), as well as in individuals affected with pancreatic cancer (PMID: 30274973), colorectal cancer (PMID: 21868491, 30521064), or Muir-Torre syndrome (PMID: 15235030, 24474082). Tumor data from affected individuals has shown high microsatellite instability and/or loss of MSH2 protein via immunohistochemistry (PMID: 15235030, 17312306, 18289827, 24474082, 30521064). This variant has been identified in 1/31380 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of MSH2 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.

Variant summary: The MSH2 c.2131C>T (p.Arg711X) variant results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncated or absent MSH2 protein due to nonsense mediated decay (NMD), which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory and others (e.g. c.2152C>T(p.Gln718X), c.2633_2634delA(p.Glu878fsX3), etc.). This variant is absent in 121400 control chromosomes from ExAC. In literature and clinical databases, this variant is reported as a pathogenic variant and is found in several HNPCC families/patients, including one patient with Muir-Torre Syndrome. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases have classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic.

The p.R711* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2131C>T), located in coding exon 13 of the MSH2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2131. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 13. This mutation has been detected in the germline of multiple patients with HNPCC/Lynch syndrome-associated malignancies and several of these individuals had tumors exhibiting a loss of MSH2 on immunohistochemistry (IHC) and/or microsatellite instability (Kurzawski G et al.

The MSH2 c.2131C>T; p.Arg711Ter variant (rs63750636) is reported in several individuals with Lynch syndrome and an individual with Muir-Torre syndrome (Rios 2014, Rossi 2017, Schneider 2018, see LOVD InSiGHT link). This variant is classified as pathogenic by multiple laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID: 90903). It is only observed on one allele in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant induces an early termination codon and is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg711*) in the MSH2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MSH2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15849733, 24362816). This variant is present in population databases (rs63750636, gnomAD 0.007%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Muir-Torre syndrome and/or non-polyposis colorectal cancer (PMID: 12132870, 12362047, 15235030, 15849733, 16451135, 17473388, 17569143, 18289827). Invitae Evidence Modeling of clinical and family history, age, sex, and reported ancestry of multiple individuals with this MSH2 variant has been performed. This variant is expected to be pathogenic with a positive predictive value of at least 99%. This is a validated machine learning model that incorporates the clinical features of 1,370,736 individuals referred to our laboratory for MSH2 testing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 90903). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
