Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Moderate
The NM_000251.3(MSH2):c.510dupG(p.Arg171GlufsTer7) 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 (★). Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.
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]

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 ). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal at codon 171 (p.Arg171Glufs*7) of the MSH2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
