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]

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:3

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Sep 19, 2019	The c.163+4A>G intronic variant results from an A to G substitution 4 nucleotides after coding exon 2 in the PMS2 gene. This alteration was identified in a cohort of 1260 individuals undergoing panel testing for Lynch syndrome due to having a diagnosis of a Lynch-associated cancer and/or polyps (Yurgelun MB et al. Gastroenterology. 2015 Sep;149:604-13.e20). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Using the BDGP and ESEfinder splice site prediction tools, this alteration is predicted to weaken the efficiency of the native splice donor site; however, direct evidence is insufficient at this time (Ambry internal data). Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Apr 17, 2023	This variant causes an A>G nucleotide substitution at the +4 position of intron 2 of the PMS2 gene. Splice site prediction tools are inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on RNA splicing. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with Lynch syndrome-associated cancer and/or polyps (PMID: 25980754). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

This sequence change falls in intron 2 of the PMS2 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the PMS2 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 25980754). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 221108). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. 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. -
