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]

Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss of function is a known mechanism of disease; Observed in individuals with a personal or family history consistent with pathogenic variants in this gene (PMID: 28888541, 36421850); Truncating variants in this gene are considered pathogenic by a well-established clinical consortium and/or database; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 31350202, 18726168, 15996210, 25525159, 12624141, 29333623, 28888541, 36421850, 38344144) -

Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Pathogenic:1

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Loss-of-function variants in MSH2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15849733, 24362816). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln816*) in the MSH2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been observed in individuals affected with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 12624141, 15996210). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 90974). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1

Oct 16, 2023

Ambry Genetics

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Q816* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2446C>T), located in coding exon 14 of the MSH2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2446. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 14. This mutation has been identified in an individual with Muir-Torre syndrome (Schon K et al. Clin. Exp. Dermatol., 2018 Jun;43:410-415) and in multiple individuals with a suspected diagnosis of Lynch syndrome based on personal and/or family history (Lee SC et al, Clin. Genet. 2005 Aug; 68(2):137-45; Parc Y et al, J. Med. Genet. 2003 Mar; 40(3):208-13; Yap HL et al, Fam. Cancer 2009 ; 8(2):85-94). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, 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. -
