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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.064889915 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 5.8, offset of 49, new splice context is: tgcatactgtatcatttcAGcag. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.

The c.538-1G>C intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to C substitution one nucleotide upstream from coding exon 6 of the PMS2 gene. This mutation has been reported in a child with Constitutional MisMatch Repair Deficiency (CMMRD) syndrome in conjunction with a PMS2 gross deletion mutation (Bakry D et al. Eur J Cancer, 2014 Mar;50:987-96). The child was diagnosed with cafe-au-lait macules, T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma at age 3.5y and GI polyposis at age 11.5y. IHC staining of a GI polyp and normal tissue showed isolated loss of the PMS2 protein. There was no reported family history of cancer. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to result in aberrant splicing. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice acceptor site; however, direct evidence is insufficient at this time (Ambry internal data). The resulting transcript is predicted to be in-frame and is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNAdecay; however, direct evidence is unavailable. The exact functional effect of the altered amino acid sequence is unknown; however, the impacted region is critical for protein function (Ambry internal data). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

This variant is considered likely pathogenic. This variant occurs within a consensus splice junction and is predicted to result in abnormal mRNA splicing of either an out-of-frame exon or an in-frame exon necessary for protein stability and/or normal function. -

This variant causes a G>C nucleotide substitution at the -1 position of intron 5 of the PMS2 gene. Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may have a significant impact on RNA splicing. Although this prediction has not been confirmed in published RNA studies, this variant is expected to abolish the acceptor site at exon 6 and result in in-frame exon skipping and a disrupted protein product. This variant has been reported in trans with a PMS2 deletion of exons 6-8 in an individual affected with constitutional mismatch repair disorder (PMID: 24440087). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Different variants affecting the same splice donor site, c.538-1G>A, c.538-2A>T, c.538-2A>C, and c.538-2A>G, are described to be disease-causing (ClinVar variation ID: 948334, 2573263, 926801, 411028). Loss of PMS2 function is a known mechanism of disease. Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 5 of the PMS2 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in PMS2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 21376568, 24362816). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with constitutional mismatch repair deficiency syndrome (PMID: 24440087). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 434027). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.538-1G>C variant was identified in the literature in 1 of 36 chromosomes from individuals with features of bi-allelic mismatch repair syndrome (Bakry_2014_24440087). The phenotypes included: T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma, GI polyposis, and Café-au-lait macules. The variant was identified as co-occuring with the c.538-?_903+?del(exon 6-8 del), variant, classified as pathogenic, in a non-consanguineous family, and consistent with recessive inheritance as observed in biallelic mismatch repair syndrome. The c.538-1G>C variant is predicted to cause abnormal splicing because the nucleotide substitution occurs in the invariant region of the splice consensus sequence. 5 out of 5 splicing programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predict altered splicing of this variant increasing the likelihood this variant is pathogenic. In summary, based on the above information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
