Submissions by phenotype
Lynch syndrome 1 Pathogenic:1
This variant is considered likely pathogenic. This variant occurs within a consensus splice junction and is predicted to result in abnormal mRNA splicing of either an out-of-frame exon or an in-frame exon necessary for protein stability and/or normal function. -
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Pathogenic:1
This sequence change affects a splice site in intron 14 of the MSH2 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in MSH2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15849733, 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 MSH2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 428503). 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 currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
The c.2459-6_2459-2delTTATA intronic pathogenic mutation, located in intron 14 of the MSH2 gene, results from a deletion of 5 nucleotides within intron 14 of the MSH2 gene. This variant was identified as germline in a patient meeting Amsterdam criteria II with early onset colorectal cancer meeting Amsterdam criteria II whose tumor showed loss of MSH2 and MSH6 protein expression by IHC (Ambry internal data). This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). These nucleotide positions are generally well conserved. Using the BDGP and ESEfinder splice site prediction tools, this alteration is predicted to abolish the native splice acceptor site; however, direct evidence is unavailable. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
