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]

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is denoted MSH2 c.646-13T>C or IVS3-13T>C and consists of a T>C nucleotide substitution at the -13 position of intron 3 of the MSH2 gene. This variant is predicted to damage the natural splice acceptor site and possibly cause abnormal splicing; however, in the absence of RNA or functional studies, the actual effect of this variant is unknown. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. MSH2 c.646-13T>C was not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek 2016, The 1000 Genomes Consortium 2015, NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project). The thymine (T) nucleotide that is altered is conserved across species. Based on currently available information, it is unclear whether MSH2 c.646-13T>C is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: MSH2 c.646-13T>C alters a nucleotide located at a position not widely known to affect splicing. Consensus agreement among computation tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8.1e-06 in 248130 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.646-13T>C in individuals affected with Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 449678). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

The MSH2 c.646-13T>C variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the UMD-LSDB database. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs761205332) as "With Uncertain significance allele", and in ClinVar (classified as likely benign by Color; as uncertain significance by GeneDx). The variant was identified in control databases in 2 of 243768 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000008 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the European population in 2 of 110570 chromosomes (freq: 0.00002), while the variant was not observed in the African, Other, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, Finnish, or South Asian populations. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. 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. -
