In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Observed in individuals with endometrial cancer, colorectal cancer, or prostate cancer, with a colon tumor from at least one individual showing loss of MLH1 and PMS2 proteins on immunohistochemistry (Ring 2016, Yurgelun 2017, Beebe-Dimmer 2018); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 29356034, 27443514, 24113346, 28135145, 25980754) -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Benign:3
- -
This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

not specified Uncertain:1Benign:1
DNA sequence analysis of the PMS2 gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.497T>C, in exon 5 that results in an amino acid change, p.Leu166Pro. This sequence change has been previously described in individuals with colorectal cancer, colon polyps/Lynch syndrome, endometrial cancer and prostate cancer (PMIDs: 25980754, 29356034, 28135145, 27443514). This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database with a frequency of 0.3% in the African American subpopulation (dbSNP rs116349687). The p.Leu166Pro change affects a highly conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the PMS2 protein that is known to be functional. The p.Leu166Pro substitution appears to be deleterious using several in-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, REVEL). Due to insufficient evidences and the lack of functional studies, the clinical significance of the p.Leu166Pro change remains unknown at this time. -
Variant summary: PMS2 c.497T>C (p.Leu166Pro) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the DNA mismatch repair protein family, N-terminal domain (IPR002099) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00022 in 250284 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0032 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 28 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in PMS2 causing Lynch Syndrome phenotype (0.00011), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African or African-American origin. c.497T>C has been reported in the literature in sequencing studies of individuals affected with Lynch syndrome associated cancer/colorectal polyps, endometrial cancer, and early onset prostate cancer (example, Yurgelun_2017, Ring_2016, Yurgelun_2017, Beebe-Dimmer_2018). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Lynch Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Seven clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation (VUS, n=6, likely benign, n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, and no emerging evidence supporting a pathognomic outcome for this variant in its evaluations spanning four years of testing at our laboratory, the variant was re-classified as likely benign. -
