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 MSH2 c.263_264delTT; p.Phe88fs variant (rs267607920) has been described in association with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (Bujalkova 2008). It contains an entry in ClinVar (Variation ID: 91029) and is absent from general population databases (Exome Variant Server and Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant causes a frameshift by deleting 2 nucleotides, so it is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered pathogenic. REFERENCES Bujalkova M et al.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Phe88Cysfs*11) 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 not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with a Lynch syndrome-associated cancer (PMID: 18772310). This variant is also known as c.261_262delTT. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 91029). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
