Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points: 3P and 0B. PM2PM4_Supporting
The NM_000535.7(PMS2):c.774_780delCTGTTCCinsTACG(p.Cys259_Ser260delinsThr) variant causes a missense, disruptive inframe deletion change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★).
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 c.774_780delCTGTTCCinsTACG variant (also known as p.C259_S260delinsT), located in coding exon 7 of the PMS2 gene, results from an in-frame deletion of CTGTTCC and insertion of TACG at nucleotide positions 774 to 780. This results in the substitution of cysteine and serine residues for a threonine residue at codons 259-260. These amino acid positions are not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis (Choi Y et al. PLoS ONE. 2012; 7(10):e46688).Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
