Genes affected

PMS2 (HGNC:9122): (PMS1 homolog 2, mismatch repair system component) The protein encoded by this gene is a key component of the mismatch repair system that functions to correct DNA mismatches and small insertions and deletions that can occur during DNA replication and homologous recombination. This protein forms heterodimers with the gene product of the mutL homolog 1 (MLH1) gene to form the MutL-alpha heterodimer. The MutL-alpha heterodimer possesses an endonucleolytic activity that is activated following recognition of mismatches and insertion/deletion loops by the MutS-alpha and MutS-beta heterodimers, and is necessary for removal of the mismatched DNA. There is a DQHA(X)2E(X)4E motif found at the C-terminus of the protein encoded by this gene that forms part of the active site of the nuclease. Mutations in this gene have been associated with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC; also known as Lynch syndrome) and Turcot syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2016]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 7 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 5 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 54 uncertain in NM_000535.7
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr7-5973453-A-C is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 1792761.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.92
• PP5: Variant 7-5973454-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-5973454-T-C is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 662202.

The p.H845R variant (also known as c.2534A>G), located in coding exon 15 of the PMS2 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 2534. The histidine at codon 845 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant has been identified in a proband whose Lynch syndrome-associated tumor demonstrated loss of PMS2 expression by immunohistochemistry (Ambry internal data). Based on internal structural analysis, H845R disrupts the zinc-binding site of the endonuclease domain, a region sensitive to disruption (Gueneau E et al. Nat Struct Mol Biol, 2013 Apr;20:461-8). Another alteration at the same codon, p.H845L (c.2534A>T), has been detected in multiple probands whose Lynch-associated tumors demonstrated high microsatellite instability and/or loss of PMS2 expression by immunohistochemistry (Goodenberger ML et al. Genet. Med., 2016 Jan;18:13-9; Yurgelun et al. J Clin Oncol 2017 Apr;35(10):1086-1095; Ambry internal data). This missense alteration is located in a region that has a low rate of benign missense variation (Lek M et al. Nature. 2016 Aug 18;536(7616):285-91; DECIPHER: Database of Chromosomal Imbalance and Phenotype in Humans using Ensembl Resources. Firth H.V. et al. 2009. Am.J.Hum.Genet. 84, 524-533 (DOI: dx.doi.org/10/1016/j.ajhg.2009.03.010)). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic.

This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 845 of the PMS2 protein (p.His845Arg). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases (gnomAD) is considered unreliable due to the presence of homologous sequence, such as pseudogenes or paralogs, in the genome. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PMS2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 662202). 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 expected to disrupt PMS2 protein function. 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.
