Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points: 7P and 0B. PVS1_StrongPM2PP5
The NM_001406876.1(PMS2):c.5G>A(p.Trp2*) variant causes a stop gained change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic 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]

The p.G74R variant (also known as c.220G>A), located in coding exon 3 of the PMS2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 220. The glycine at codon 74 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration was identified in an individual diagnosed with early-onset colorectal cancer whose family history met Amsterdam I criteria for Lynch syndrome (Ambry internal data). Another alteration with a different nucleotide change but the same amino acid change, c.220G>C (p.G74R), has been reported as likely pathogenic due to it being identified in individuals whose colorectal tumors displayed high microsatellite instability (MSI-H) with either absent or weak PMS2 staining on immunohistochemistry (IHC) and an internal structural assessment determined p.G74R causes significant structural destabilization of the ATPase domain (Ambry internal data). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -

PMS2 NM_000535.5:c.220G>A has a 60.9% probability of pathogenicity based on combining prior probability from public data with a likelihood ratio of 1.56 to 1, generated from evidence of seeing this as a somatic mutation in a tumor without loss of heterozygosity at the PMS2 locus.

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 74 of the PMS2 protein (p.Gly74Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt PMS2 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 455692). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of PMS2-related conditions (Invitae). -
