Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The ENST00000265849.12(PMS2):c.162_163insAATT(p.Asp55AsnfsTer2) variant causes a frameshift, splice region 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 Likely pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. I54I) has been classified as Uncertain significance. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.
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]

Variant 7-6005892-C-CAATT is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-6005892-C-CAATT is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 484246.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asp55Asnfs*2) in the PMS2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. 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). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PMS2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 484246). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
The c.162_163insAATT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 2 of the PMS2 gene, results from an insertion of 4 nucleotides at position 162, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.D55Nfs*2). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
