The NM_000535.7(PMS2):c.1279C>G (p.Arg427Gly) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The gene PMS2 is a cancer driver gene (CancerMine: 1 driver citations). The variant is absent from the gnomAD population database at sites with sufficient sequencing coverage. In-silico predictor (REVEL) classifies this variant as likely benign. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.R427C: Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity (ClinVar VariationId 127758); p.R427H: Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity (ClinVar VariationId 185424); p.R427L: Uncertain_significance (ClinVar VariationId 2828578, 1 star); p.R427= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 1133919, 2 stars); p.R427= (synonymous): Benign/Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 818786, 2 stars)

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]

Classification according to ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025

Specifications for PMS2 are available in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry and recommended for reference when assigning criteria.

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 1 points.

Apply	Criterion Code & Title / Strength	Strength	Rationale / Clinical Context
	O3Absent or very rare in population		Absent or extremely rare in gnomAD (AC ≤ 2) — O3 moderate; GnomAD: AF = absent, AC = 0 — absent/extremely rare (O3 moderate [+2])
	B3Computational evidence does not support deleterious effect		Computational evidence does not support a deleterious effect; Missense variant — primary computational scorer does not support an oncogenic/deleterious effect; supports B3
