Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -5 ACMG points: 0P and 5B. BP4_StrongBP6
The NM_001406875.1(PMS2):āc.40C>Gā(p.His14Asp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000023 in 1,609,404 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 7/7 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 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 frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000044 (5/113424 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity. In the published literature, it has been reported in an individual with colorectal cancer (PMID: 28135145 (2017)). Analysis of this variant using software algorithms for the prediction of the effect of nucleotide changes on splicing yielded predictions that this variant may affect proper PMS2 mRNA splicing . Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

In-silico analysis, which includes splice predictors and evolutionary conservation, is inconclusive as to whether the variant alters gene splicing. In the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown.; Observed in an individual with colorectal cancer (Yurgelun 2017); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 27535533, 28135145) -

Variant summary: PMS2 c.354-5C>G alters a nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Three predict the variant weakens a cryptic 3' acceptor site. One predict the variant abolishes a 3' acceptor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 251140 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.354-5C>G has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with colorectal cancer (Yurgelun_2017). This report does 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 clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, 3 classify as VUS while 2 classify as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
