Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1Benign:3
- -
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. -

Variant summary: PMS2 c.1760G>A (p.Ser587Asn) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251242 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1760G>A has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, however this individual also carried another missense variant in PMS2 (Deng_2019). In a recent large study evaluating breast cancer cases and controls in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC), the variant was reported in 3/60466 cases, but was also found in 2/53461 controls (Dorling_2021 through LOVD). The variant was also identified as a secondary finding in 3 of 572 ClinSeq participants who had atherosclerosis, but were not selected for personal or family history of cancer (Johnston_2012). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Lynch Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 30833958, 33471991, 22703879, 27600092). Eight submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Multiple submitters reported the variant with conflicting assessments (LB, n=3; VUS, n=5). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
Lynch syndrome 4 Uncertain:2
This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance as there is insufficient evidence to determine its impact on protein function and/or cancer risk. -

Lynch syndrome Uncertain:1
The PMS2 p.Ser587Asn variant was identified in 3 of 1144 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.003) in a screen of individuals with atherosclerosis for cancer-susceptibility genes; personal or family history of cancer was not required (Johnston 2012). The variant was also identified in dSNP (rs762100304) as "With Likely benign, Uncertain significance allele" and Clinvar (classified as likely benign by Ambry Genetics; and as uncertain significance by Invitae and Counsyl). The variant was identified in control databases in 1 of 30982 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00003 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017); observed in the Ashkenazi Jewish population in 1 of 302 chromosomes (freq: 0.003), while it was not observed in the European, African, Other, Latino, East Asian, European Finnish, or South Asian populations. The p.Ser587 residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. 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. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Uncertain:1
This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 587 of the PMS2 protein (p.Ser587Asn). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with stomach adenocarcinoma (PMID: 26689913). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 480298). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt PMS2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. 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. -
