Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria provided | clinical testing | Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System | - | The MSH2 p.Val161Ile variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the UMD-LSDB database. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs149511545) as “With Uncertain significance allele”, ClinVar (as uncertain significance by GeneDx, Invitae, and EGL Genetic Diagnostics, and as likely benign by Ambry Genetics). The variant was identified in control databases in 17 of 277208 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000061 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 15 of 24030 chromosomes (freq: 0.000624), Other in 1 of 6466 chromosomes (freq: 0.000155), Latino in 1 of 34420 chromosomes (freq: 0.000029), while the variant was not observed in the European (Non-Finnish), Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, European (Finnish), and South Asian populations. The p.Val161 residue is conserved in in mammals but not in more distantly related organisms and the variant amino acid Isoleucine (Ile) is present in chickens, increasing the likelihood that this variant does not have clinical significance. Computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; this information is not predictive enough to rule out 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. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. - |
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano | Oct 21, 2022 | The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00068 (17/24964 chromosomes in African/African American subpopulation, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is higher than would generally be expected for pathogenic variants in this gene. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in an individual with renal papillary cell carcinoma (PMID: 29684080 (2018)) and in a large-scale breast cancer association study, the variant was observed in one healthy control individual (PMID: 33471991 (2021)). Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. - |
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | GeneDx | Jan 20, 2023 | In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge; A different missense change at this residue (p.Val161Asp) has been reported in the published literature in association with Lynch syndrome (Bianchi et al., 2017); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 22949387, 11726306, 28905261, 18822302, 21120944, 28785832) - |

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp | Jul 21, 2023 | Variant summary: MSH2 c.481G>A (p.Val161Ile) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the DNA mismatch repair protein MutS, connector domain (IPR007860) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.6e-05 in 251476 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.481G>A has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (Yehia_2018). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer/Lynch syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Seven submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as either VUS (n=4) or likely benign (n=3). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. - |
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories | Oct 08, 2018 | The MSH2 c.481G>A; p.Val161Ile variant (rs149511545), to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature but is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 182580). However, a different variant at this codon (p.Val161Asp) is reported in families with Lynch syndrome, and functional studies suggest the variant protein has deficient mismatch repair (MMR) activity and stability as well as abnormal subcellular localization (Bianchi 2018, Ollila 2006 and 2008). The p.Val161Ile variant is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.006% (17/277208 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The valine at codon 161 is well conserved, but computational analyses (SIFT, PolyPhen-2) predict the p.Val161Ile variant is tolerated. Due to limited information, the clinical significance of the p.Val161Ile variant is uncertain at this time. REFERENCES Bianchi F et al.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Benign:2
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Ambry Genetics | May 25, 2018 | 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. - |

MSH2-related disorder Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria provided | clinical testing | PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences | Jul 02, 2024 | The MSH2 c.481G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Val161Ile. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.068% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD, and has been interpreted as both uncertain and likely benign in the ClinVar database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/182580). Although we suspect that this variant may be benign, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. - |
Lynch syndrome 1 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | St. Jude Molecular Pathology, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital | Oct 20, 2023 | The MSH2 c.481G>A (p.Val161Ile) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.068% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). The in silico tool REVEL is inconclusive about a pathogenic or benign effect of this variant on protein function, however a functional assay using a massively parallel screen in human cells indicated that this variant is functionally neutral (PMID: 33357406). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with Lynch syndrome or constitutional mismatch repair deficiency. In summary, the evidence currently available is insufficient to determine the clinical significance of this variant. It has therefore been classified as of uncertain significance. - |
