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]

Variant summary: MSH2 c.1520delC (p.Pro507LeufsX19) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant was absent in 251270 control chromosomes. c.1520delC has been reported in the literature in at least one individual affected with Lynch Syndrome (Lagerstedt-Robinson_2016). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Lynch Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 27601186). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 455503). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Lynch syndrome Pathogenic:1

Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Pro507fs variant in MSH2 has not been previously reported in individuals w ith Lynch Syndrome and was absent from large population studies, though the abil ity of these studies to accurately detect indels may be limited. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein?s amino acid sequence beginning at position 507 and leads to a premature termination codon 19 amino a cids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or abs ent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the MSH2 gene is an established di sease mechanism in Lynch Syndrome. In summary, the available evidence suggests t hat this variant is pathogenic for Lynch Syndrome in an autosomal dominant manne r based upon the predicted impact to the protein. -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Pro507Leufs*19) in the MSH2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MSH2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15849733, 24362816). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 27601186). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 455503). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.1520delC pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the MSH2 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 1520, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.P507Lfs*19). This alteration has been identified in a cohort of Swedish Lynch syndrome families (Lagerstedt-Robinson K et al. Oncol. Rep. 2016 Nov;36:2823-2835). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, 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. -
