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]

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as likely benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of likely benign for this disease. -

Myriad Genetics, Inc.

Significance: Benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is considered benign. This variant is intronic and is not expected to impact mRNA splicing. This variant is strongly associated with less severe personal and family histories of cancer, typical for individuals without pathogenic variants in this gene [PMID: 27363726]. This variant has been observed at a population frequency that is significantly greater than expected given the associated disease prevalence and penetrance. -

The MSH2 c.1277-8T>C variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the following databases: COGR, Cosmic, Zhejiang University Database, Mismatch Repair Genes Variant Database, or Insight Hereditary Tumors Database. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs145400590) as “With other allele”, in ClinVar (classified as benign by Invitae, GeneDx, and two clinical laboratories; as uncertain significance by Ambry Genetics, Mayo clinic), Clinvitae, and in UMD-LSDB (as neutral). The variant was identified in control databases in 154 of 275904 chromosomes (1 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.001 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). It was observed in the following populations: African in 114 of 23936 chromosomes (freq: 0.01), Other in 2 of 6434 chromosomes (freq: 0.0003), Latino in 20 of 34356 chromosomes (freq: 0.001), and European in 18 of 126058 chromosomes (freq: 0.0001); it was not observed in the Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, Finnish, and South Asian populations. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) 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. -
