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]

Significance: Benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: MSH2 c.211+8C>T alters a non-conserved 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 4.2e-05 in 215500 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 9.4e-05 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. 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.211+8C>T 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: 378154). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The MSH2 c.211+8C>T variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the UMD-LSDB database. The variant was identified in dbSNP (rs267607916) as “with likely benign, uncertain significance allele” and ClinVar (classified as likely benign by Invitae, Counsyl, Color and Quest Diagnostics, benign by GeneDx and uncertain significance by Integrated Genetics). The variant was identified in control databases in 10 of 246,872 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00004 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: European in 10 of 111,074 chromosomes (freq: 0.00009), but not in the African, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, Finnish, Other and South Asian populations. The variant occurs at a weakly conserved nucleotide 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. -
