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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-47466810-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-47466810-T-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 455513.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Variant summary: MSH2 c.1661+2T>C is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Three predict the variant abolishes a canonical 5' splicing donor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant was absent in 250972 control chromosomes. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.1661+2T>C in individuals affected with Lynch Syndrome and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014, and both classified the variant as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

This variant is considered pathogenic. This variant occurs within a consensus splice junction and is predicted to result in abnormal mRNA splicing of either an out-of-frame exon or an in-frame exon necessary for protein stability and/or normal function. mRNA analysis has demonstrated abnormal mRNA splicing occurs [PMID: 18561205]. -

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in activation of a cryptic splice site and skipping of exon 10 and introduces a premature termination codon (Invitae). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 455513). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 12624141, 16034045, 16142001, 17569143, 21642682). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 10 of the MSH2 gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -

The c.1661+2T>C intronic variant results from a T to C substitution two nucleotides after coding exon 10 in the MSH2 gene. This variant has been identified in at least one individual whose Lynch syndrome-related tumor demonstrated loss of MSH2 and MSH6 expression by IHC (Ambry internal data). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
