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]

Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The variant results in a shift of the reading frame, and is therefore predicted to result in the loss of a functional protein. Not found in the total gnomAD dataset, and the data is high quality. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This deletion of one nucleotide in MSH2 is denoted c.1229delG at the cDNA level and p.Gly410ValfsX2 (G410VfsX2) at the protein level. The normal sequence, with the base that is deleted in brackets, is CAGG[delG]TATA. The deletion causes a frameshift which changes a Glycine to a Valine at codon 410, and creates a premature stop codon at position 2 of the new reading frame. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. MSH2 c.1229delG has not been reported in the literature as a germline variant, to our knowledge, but has been reported as a somatic variant in a microsatellite unstable (MSI-H) colon cancer (Haraldsdottir 2014). We consider this variant to be pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gly410Valfs*2) 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 variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MSH2-related conditions. Invitae Evidence Modeling of clinical and family history, age, sex, and reported ancestry of multiple individuals with this MSH2 variant has been performed. This variant is expected to be pathogenic with a positive predictive value of at least 99%. This is a validated machine learning model that incorporates the clinical features of 1,370,736 individuals referred to our laboratory for MSH2 testing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 545842). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.1229delG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 7 of the MSH2 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 1229, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.G410Vfs*2). This alteration was identified in the MSI-H tumor of a male diagnosed with ascending colon cancer at age 71 (Haraldsdottir S et al. Gastroenterology, 2014 Dec;147:1308-1316.e1). In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site and will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice donor site. RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in abnormal splicing in the set of samples tested (Ambry internal data). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
