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]

Variant summary: PMS2 c.23+7G>C alters a non-conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. Computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. This variant was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 (i.e., 4 heterozygotes) in 250330 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 9.8e-05 in the South Asian subpopulation (gnomAD v2.1, Exomes dataset). Though this frequency is close to the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic PMS2 variant (1.1e-04), pseudogene interference cannot be ruled out and the available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.23+7G>C in individuals affected with Lynch syndrome and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Four submitters have reported clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign. -
