Genes affected

PMS2 (HGNC:9122): (PMS1 homolog 2, mismatch repair system component) The protein encoded by this gene is a key component of the mismatch repair system that functions to correct DNA mismatches and small insertions and deletions that can occur during DNA replication and homologous recombination. This protein forms heterodimers with the gene product of the mutL homolog 1 (MLH1) gene to form the MutL-alpha heterodimer. The MutL-alpha heterodimer possesses an endonucleolytic activity that is activated following recognition of mismatches and insertion/deletion loops by the MutS-alpha and MutS-beta heterodimers, and is necessary for removal of the mismatched DNA. There is a DQHA(X)2E(X)4E motif found at the C-terminus of the protein encoded by this gene that forms part of the active site of the nuclease. Mutations in this gene have been associated with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC; also known as Lynch syndrome) and Turcot syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2016]

The PMS2 p.Leu786Met variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the COGR, MutDB, Insight Colon Cancer Gene Variant, Zhejiang Colon Cancer, Mismatch Repair Genes Variant, and the Insight Hereditary Tumors databases. Furthermore, the variant was not identified in the NHLBI GO Exome Sequencing Project. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs576055272) as with other allele, in the ClinVar and Clinvitae databases as benign by Invitae and Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano; as likely benign by Ambry Genetics and Prevention Genetics; and as uncertain significance by GeneDx. In addition, the variant was identified in the Cosmic database 1X as pathogenic in a lobular carcinoma and in the 1000 Genomes Project in 9 of 5000 chromosomes (frequency: 0.002). The variant was further identified in control databases in 287 of 244884 chromosomes (10 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.001 increasing the likelihood that this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). It was observed in the following populations: African in 1 of 15242 chromosomes (freq: 0.00007), Other in 1 of 5466 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002), Latino in 3 of 33562 chromosomes (freq: 0.00009), European Non-Finnish in 15 of 110756 chromosomes (freq: 0.0001), East Asian in 1 of 17174 chromosomes (freq: 0.00006), and South Asian in 266 of 30658 chromosomes (freq: 0.009); it was not observed in the Ashkenazi Jewish and European Finnish, populations. The p.Leu786 residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as likely benign. -

This variant is denoted PMS2 c.2356C>A at the cDNA level, p.Leu786Met (L786M) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Leucine to a Methionine (CTG>ATG). PMS2 Leu786Met was identified in at least one individual among a cohort of 145 patients who underwent PMS2 clinical testing, as well as in an individual with previously negative BRCA1/2 analysis (Vaughn 2010, Yadav 2016). Although this variant was observed in large population cohorts, population data in this region of PMS2 are not considered reliable due to high pseudogene homology (Lek 2016). PMS2 Leu786Met is located in the Endonuclease domain (Fukui 2011). In-silico analysis, including protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure or function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether PMS2 Leu786Met is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

Variant summary: PMS2 c.2356C>A (p.Leu786Met) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the MutL, C-terminal, dimerization domain of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0012 in 244884 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0087 within the South Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 9 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency within South Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 77 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in PMS2 causing Lynch Syndrome phenotype (0.00011), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of South Asian origin. However, this observance needs to be cautiously considered due to the possibility of the PMS2 pseudogene being captured, although the observance of a total of 10 homozygotes does support the actual PMS2 gene being captured. c.2356C>A has been reported in the literature in individuals with a personal or family history of cancer including colorectal cancer and breast cancer (Yadav 2017, Tung 2015, Roy 2009). However, these reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Lynch Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Six ClinVar submissions from clinical diagnostic laboratories and reputable databases (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as benign (2x), likely benign (1x) and three times as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to rule this variant out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as benign. -
