Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000251.3(MSH2):​c.153dupG​(p.Leu52AlafsTer30) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. L52L) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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 nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Pathogenic:1

Jan 18, 2017

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. While this particular variant has not been reported in the literature, loss-of-function variants in MSH2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15849733, 24362816). This sequence change inserts 1 nucleotide in exon 1 of the MSH2 mRNA (c.153dupG), causing a frameshift at codon 52. This creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu52Alafs*30) and is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -

Oct 03, 2023

Ambry Genetics

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.153dupG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 1 of the MSH2 gene, results from a duplication of G at nucleotide position 153, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.L52Afs*30). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
