The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000973 in 1,614,034 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 15/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars).
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]

This missense variant replaces alanine with serine at codon 474 of the PMS2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with Lynch syndrome-associated cancer and/or polyps (PMID: 25980754), breast cancer (PMID: 29286535, 33471991), as well as in healthy control individuals (PMID: 33471991). This variant has also been identified in 6/251492 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

The PMS2 c.1420G>T (p.Ala474Ser) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with Lynch syndrome-associated polyps and/or cancer (PMID: 25980754 (2015)), osteosarcoma (PMID: 26580448 (2015)), breast cancer (PMIDs: 29286535 (2018), 33471991 (2021)), as well as in reportedly healthy individuals (PMID: 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000053 (6/113768 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Variant summary: PMS2 c.1420G>T (p.Ala474Ser) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.4e-05 in 251492 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1420G>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Lynch Syndrome, Breast cancer or Osteosarcoma as well as in healthy controls (Yurgelun_2015, Zhang_2015, Blount_2018, Dorling_2021). 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. Five ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as uncertain significance (n=3) and likely benign (n=2). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

The PMS2 c.1420G>T (p.Ala474Ser) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.0053% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/7-6026976-C-A). This variant is located in exon 11 of the PMS2 gene and data in this region are not considered reliable due to high pseudogene homology. This variant has been reported in an individual with a history of Lynch syndrome-associated cancer and/or polyps (PMID: 25980754) and in an individual with a breast cancer and a family history of breast and other cancers (PMID: 29286535). Five of six in silico tools predict a benign effect of this variant on protein function (BP4), but to our knowledge these predictions have not been confirmed by functional assays. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as of uncertain significance based on the ACMG/AMP criteria: BP4. Due to high pseudogene homology in this region, variant confirmation by an orthogonal method (e.g. long range PCR) is recommended. -
