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: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant replaces G>T at the +5 position in intron 10 of the MSH2 gene. Splice site prediction tools predict that this variant may have a significant impact on RNA splicing. The variant is likely to cause an out-of-frame skipping of exon 10. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with Lynch syndrome and the aberrant splicing effect has been reported by an external laboratory (ClinVar SCV000625293.5). A different variant at this position, c.1661+5G>C, has demonstrated aberrant splicing and skipping of exon 10 (PMID: 12362047, 16451135, 32849802). The c.1661+5G>C variant has been observed in individuals and families affected with Lynch syndrome-associated cancer (PMID: 12362047, 16451135, 25081409). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.1661+5G>T intronic variant results from a G to T substitution 5 nucleotides after coding exon 10 in the MSH2 gene. 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; however, direct evidence is insufficient at this time (Ambry internal data). Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This sequence change falls in intron 10 of the MSH2 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the MSH2 protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or altered protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with Lynch syndrome (internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 455514). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant results in skipping of exon 10, and produces a non-functional protein and/or introduces a premature termination codon (internal data). This variant disrupts the c.1661+5G nucleotide in the MSH2 gene. Other variant(s) that disrupt this nucleotide have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 12362047, 25081409, 32849802; internal data). This suggests that this nucleotide is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this position are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
