The NM_000251.3(MSH2):c.2038_2040delCGAinsGGC (p.Arg680Gly) variant causes a missense change. Note: allele frequency estimates from gnomAD may be inaccurate for this variant type (MNP or indel longer than 3 bp) due to technology limitations. The variant is absent from the gnomAD population database at sites with sufficient sequencing coverage. The affected nucleotide is highly conserved across species (PhyloP 100-way vertebrate score: 9.60). No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. A different missense at the same amino acid position has been reported as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic in ClinVar: p.R680P: Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic (ClinVar VariationId 483690, 2 stars) Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.R680G: Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity (ClinVar VariationId 186199); p.R680L: Uncertain_significance (ClinVar VariationId 1021808, 2 stars); p.R680Q: Uncertain_significance (ClinVar VariationId 579393, 2 stars); p.R680= (synonymous): Benign/Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 2827538, 2 stars); p.R680= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 2819621, 1 star); p.R680= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 4111043, 1 star)

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]

Classification according to ACMG Germline Pathogenicity v2019

Specifications for MSH2 are available in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry and recommended for reference when assigning criteria.

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 6 points.

Apply	Criterion Code & Title / Strength	Strength	Rationale / Clinical Context
	PM1Mutational hot spot or critical domain		Missense neighbourhood hotspot (≥2 P/LP within ±8 AA, OR ≥ 5 vs. background) — PM1; In-domain: 0 pathogenic, 0 benign rare missense variants.; ±8 AA neighbourhood: 19 pathogenic, 12 benign (OR vs. background: 7.8).
	PM2Absent/extremely low in population databases		Absent from gnomAD (AD/XL gene) — PM2; Absent from gnomAD at well-covered site (MOI: AD+AR) (base 0.0001, raised to 0.0005 by highest known P/LP ClinVar AF 0.00268) — PM2 moderate.
	PM5Novel missense at known pathogenic residue		Different pathogenic missense at same AA residue in ClinVar (PM5); ClinVar contains a germline Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic entry at the same amino acid position with a different amino acid change: p.R680P: Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic (ClinVar VariationId 483690, 2 stars); Other variants at the same amino acid residue (not pathogenic): p.R680G: Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity (ClinVar VariationId 186199); p.R680L: Uncertain_significance (ClinVar VariationId 1021808, 2 stars); p.R680Q: Uncertain_significance (ClinVar VariationId 579393, 2 stars); p.R680= (synonymous): Benign/Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 2827538, 2 stars); p.R680= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 2819621, 1 star); p.R680= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 4111043, 1 star)
