Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Pathogenic:1
For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant is expected to disrupt nearly the entire C-terminal portion of the MSH6 and MSH3 interaction domains of the MSH2 protein, as well as the helix-turn-helix domain (disrupted residues Glu881-Thr934) (PMID: 9774676, 18822302, 17531815). Although functional studies have not been done for this particular variant, loss of the C-terminal region of the protein likely impairs MSH2 function (PMID: 9774676, 18822302, 17531815). This suggests that deletion of this region of the MSH2 protein is causative of disease. This sequence change results in a premature translational stop signal in the MSH2 gene (p.Glu881Valfs*12). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 54 amino acids of the MSH2 protein. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with MSH2-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 408510). -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
The c.2640_2656del17 pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 16 of the MSH2 gene, results from a deletion of 17 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 2640 to 2656, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.E881Vfs*12). This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of MSH2 gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and only impacts the last 5.67% of the protein. However, premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature and the impacted region is critical for protein function and a significant portion of the protein is affected (Ambry internal data).This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the supporting evidence, this variant is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
