Genes affected

MSH2 (HGNC:7325): (mutS homolog 2) This locus is frequently mutated in hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC). When cloned, it was discovered to be a human homolog of the E. coli mismatch repair gene mutS, consistent with the characteristic alterations in microsatellite sequences (RER+ phenotype) found in HNPCC. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 7, offset of 1, new splice context is: tttattttttgtttactaAGgtt. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-47416295-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-47416295-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 91252.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars. Variant chr2-47416295-G-A is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic]. Variant chr2-47416295-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Myriad Genetics, Inc.

This variant is considered 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. This variant is strongly associated with more severe personal and family histories of cancer, typical for individuals with pathogenic variants in this gene [PMID: 27363726]. -

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in activation of a cryptic splice site and introduces a premature termination codon (Invitae). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 91252). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 11151427, 20233461, 26866578). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 5 of the MSH2 gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -

The c.943-1G>A intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide upstream from coding exon 6 of the MSH2 gene. This variant was reported in an individual who met Amsterdam I/II criteria for Lynch syndrome and tumor demonstrated high microsatellite instability (Pistorius SR et al. Int J Colorectal Dis. 2000 Nov;15(5-6):255-63). This variant has been identified in a proband whose Lynch syndrome-associated tumor demonstrated loss of MSH2 expression by immunohistochemistry (Ambry internal data). This variant has also been identified as somatic in conjunction with a somatic pathogenic MSH2 variant in a tumor that demonstrated high microsatellite instability and loss of MSH2/MSH6 expression by immunohistochemistry (Haraldsdottir S et al. Gastroenterology. 2014 Dec;147(6):1308-1316.e1; Ambry internal data). RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in abnormal splicing in the set of samples tested (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 alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
