The PMS2 c.383C>T; p.Ser128Leu variant (rs116373169) is reported in the literature in an individual with suspected Lynch syndrome, although its clinical significance in this individual was uncertain (Borras 2017). This variant is found in the African population with an allele frequency of 0.5% (136/24972 alleles, including 1 homozygote) in the Genome Aggregation Database, and it is reported as benign/likely benign by multiple laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID: 135943). The serine at codon 128 is moderately conserved, and computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.413). Our laboratory has identified this variant in an individual who also carried a pathogenic truncating PMS2 variant. Although the evidence suggests this variant may be likely benign, there is currently insufficient information to classify with certainty. Therefore, based on available information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time. References: Borras E et al.

Variant summary: The c.383C>T variant affects a conserved nucleotide, resulting in amino acid change from Ser to Leu. 4/4 in-silico tools predict damaging outcome for this variant (SNPs&GO not captured due to low reliability index). 5/5 programs in Alamut predict that this variant does not affect normal splicing. ESE finder predicts that this variant may affect multiple ESE sites. However, these predictions are not confirmed by experimental studies. This variant is found in 92/121400 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0007578, which is about 7 times of maximal expected frequency of a pathogenic allele (0.0001136), suggesting this variant is benign. Sequence alignment suggests alleles identified in ExAC controls are unlikely from PMS2 pseudogenes. In addition, multiple clinical laboratories/literature classified this variant as benign/likely benign/polymorphisms. Taken together, this variant was classified as likely benign. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Benign:4

- -
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. -

Lynch syndrome 4 Benign:3

This variant is considered benign. This variant has been observed at a population frequency that is significantly greater than expected given the associated disease prevalence and penetrance. Homozygosity for this variant has been confirmed in one or more individuals lacking clinical features consistent with gene-specific recessive disease, indicating that this variant is unlikely to be pathogenic. -

PMS2 NM_000535.5:c.383C>T has a 14.1% probability of pathogenicity based on combining prior probability from public data with a likelihood ratio of 0.16 to 1, generated from evidence of seeing this as a somatic mutation in a tumor with loss of heterozygosity at the PMS2 locus.

The PMS2 p.Ser128Leu variant was identified in 1 of 290 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.003) from individuals or families with Lynch syndrome (Vaughn 2010). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs116373169) as "With other allele", ClinVar (classified as benign by Invitae and one other submitter; as likely benign by Ambry Genetics, GeneDx, and five other submitters; and as uncertain significance by one submitter), Cosmic (1x in skin tissue), and MutDB. The variant was not identified in COGR, Mismatch Repair Genes Variant Database, or Insight Hereditary Tumors database. The variant was identified in control databases in 188 of 276898 chromosomes (1 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.0007, increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 134 of 24038 chromosomes (freq: 0.006), Latino in 3 of 34420 chromosomes (freq: 0.00009), European in 43 of 126388 chromosomes (freq: 0.0003), East Asian in 7 of 18870 chromosomes (freq: 0.0004), and South Asian in 1 of 30782 chromosomes (freq: 0.00003), while the variant was not observed in the Other, Ashkenazi Jewish, or Finnish populations. The p.Ser128 residue is conserved in mammals but not in more distantly related organisms, and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) suggest that the variant may impact the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. -
