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]

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthAug 10, 2021This missense variant replaces arginine with glutamine at codon 711 of the MSH2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). One functional study has shown that the variant is potentially damaging for DNA mismatch repair based on a methylation tolerance assay (PMID: 30998989) while another study in yeast reported this variant having a mild increase in mutation rate (PMID: 33848333). This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has been identified in 2/251480 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsDec 01, 2023The p.R711Q variant (also known as c.2132G>A), located in coding exon 13 of the MSH2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2132. The arginine at codon 711 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. Using a Bayesian analysis that incorporates tumor mutation data, this variant was classified as uncertain significance (Shirts BH et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet., 2018 07;103:19-29). In a methylation tolerance-based functional assay, this alteration was classified as a variant of unknown significance (Bouvet D et al. Gastroenterology, 2019 08;157:421-431). In a massively parallel cell-based functional assay testing susceptibility to a DNA damaging agent, 6-thioguanine (6-TG), this variant was reported to be functionally neutral (Jia X et al. Am J Hum Genet, 2021 01;108:163-175). This alteration was also identified in an individual diagnosed with colon, stomach and breast cancer (Lerner-Ellis J et al. J Cancer Res Clin Oncol, 2021 Mar;147:871-879). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Carcinoma of colon Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The MSH2 p.Arg711Gln variant was not identified in the literature. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs138465383) as "With Uncertain significance allele", ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by Ambry Genetics), and the UMD-LSDB database. The variant was identified in control databases in 2 of 246250 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000008 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: European in 1 of 111702 chromosomes (freq: 0.000009) and South Asian in 1 of 30782 chromosomes (freq: 0.00003); it was not observed in the African, Other, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, or Finnish populations. The p.Arg711 residue is conserved across mammals and other organisms, and four out of five 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 3 of 4 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing. However, this information is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -
Lynch syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingUniversity of Washington Department of Laboratory Medicine, University of WashingtonMay 01, 2018MSH2 NM_000251.2:c.2132G>A has a 63.2% probability of pathogenicity based on combining prior probability from public data with a likelihood ratio of 0.20 to 1, generated from evidence of seeing this as a somatic mutation in a tumor without loss of heterozygosity at the MSH2 locus. See Shirts et al 2018, PMID 29887214. -

Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpDec 14, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 711 of the MSH2 protein (p.Arg711Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs138465383, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of MSH2-related conditions (PMID: 10612827). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 485849). Advanced modeling performed at Invitae incorporating data from internal and/or published experimental studies (PMID: 33357406) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt MSH2 function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects MSH2 function (PMID: 30998989). This variant disrupts the p.Arg711 amino acid residue in MSH2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 20937110; Invitae). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
