Genes affected
PMS2 (HGNC:9122): (PMS1 homolog 2, mismatch repair system component) The protein encoded by this gene is a key component of the mismatch repair system that functions to correct DNA mismatches and small insertions and deletions that can occur during DNA replication and homologous recombination. This protein forms heterodimers with the gene product of the mutL homolog 1 (MLH1) gene to form the MutL-alpha heterodimer. The MutL-alpha heterodimer possesses an endonucleolytic activity that is activated following recognition of mismatches and insertion/deletion loops by the MutS-alpha and MutS-beta heterodimers, and is necessary for removal of the mismatched DNA. There is a DQHA(X)2E(X)4E motif found at the C-terminus of the protein encoded by this gene that forms part of the active site of the nuclease. Mutations in this gene have been associated with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC; also known as Lynch syndrome) and Turcot syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2016]

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

The p.R107W variant (also known as c.319C>T), located in coding exon 4 of the PMS2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 319. The arginine at codon 107 is replaced by tryptophan, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This variant has been reported in trans with a PMS2 exon 10 deletion in a patient with suspected CMMRD; however, PMS2 protein expression was normal by immunohistochemistry (IHC) performed on the patient's tumor sample (van der Klift HM et al. Hum. Mutat. 2016 Nov;37:1162-1179). This alteration has also been identified in several individuals whose family history met Amsterdam II criteria for Lynch syndrome and/or colorectal tumors showed normal PMS2 protein expression on IHC, but displayed high microsatellite instability (MSI-H) (Ambry internal data; van der Klift HM et al. Hum. Mutat. 2016 11;37:1162-1179). In an in vitro mismatch repair (MMR) complementation assay, the MMR activity of p.R107W was reduced to less than 20% compared to wild type (100%), which was similar to other pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants in the assay (van der Klift HM et al. Hum. Mutat. 2016 11;37:1162-1179). Patient RNA analysis and in vitro minigene assays of the c.319C>T variant both demonstrated expression of alternatively spliced transcripts in addition to the full length PMS2 transcript, but this was not directly quantified (van der Klift HM et al. Mol. Genet. Genomic Med. 2015 Jul;3:327-45). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -

This missense variant replaces arginine with tryptophan at codon 107 of the PMS2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). Functional studies have shown that this variant causes a significant decrease in mismatch repair activity, with less than 20% of wild type protein activity (PMID: 27435373). This variant has been reported in individuals with Lynch syndrome-associated cancers (PMID: 27435373; ClinVar SCV000187425.8). This variant has also been observed in trans with a PMS2 exon 10 deletion in an individual affected with autosomal recessive constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (PMID: 27435373), indicating that this variant contributes to disease. This variant has been identified in 3/236786 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method: clinical testing

The PMS2 c.319C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg107Trp. This variant has been described as heterozygous in an individual with Lynch syndrome and in trans with a pathogenic variant in an individual with constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (CMMRD) syndrome (van der Klift et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27435373). Additional individuals affected with Lynch syndrome associated cancer have also been reported with this variant (Supplementary Table 2, ten Broeke et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25512458; Table 3, Salvador et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 30702970). Functional studies have demonstrated that this missense change affects PMS2 function wherein the mismatch repair activity was reduced to less than 20% compared to wild type (van der Klift et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27435373). This variant is reported in 0.0055% of alleles in individuals of East Asian descent in gnomAD and has conflicting interpretations regarding its pathogenicity in ClinVar, ranging from uncertain to pathogenic (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/127789/). This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -

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

Variant summary: PMS2 c.319C>T (p.Arg107Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the DNA mismatch repair protein family, N-terminal domain of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. Consensus agreement among computation tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, splicing studies have shown that this variant promotes the expression of the alternative transcripts lacking exon 4 over full-length (FL) transcripts (van der Klift_2015). The alternative transcripts are also found in wt RNA, and, since the exact differences in the rate of expression of the FL and alternative transcripts could not be determined, the translational impact of this variant remains uncertain. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.3e-05 in 236786 control chromosomes. c.319C>T has been reported in the literature as a biallelic compound heterozygous genotype in an individual affected with constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (vanderKlift_2016 overlapping with tenBroeke_2015)and as a carrier genotype in individuals from a family with Lynch syndrome (Suerink_2015). It has also been reported as a variant of somatic origin in an individual with endometrial cancer who harbored other putatively causative variants in other genes (Stelloo_2017) and as a variant of somatic origin in an individual with Lynch syndrome who harbored a PMS2 exon 12 deletion of germline origin (Salvador_2019). At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function in-vitro. The most pronounced variant effect results in abrogation of mismatch repair (MMR) activity at levels identical to or lower than the repair-deficient control (van der Klift_2016). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 29445031, 30702970, 27742654, 26110232, 25512458, 27435373, 26247049). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 127789). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

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

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 107 of the PMS2 protein (p.Arg107Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs188006077, gnomAD 0.002%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with constitutional mismatch repair deficiency syndrome and Lynch syndrome (PMID: 25512458, 26110232, 27435373, 30702970). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 127789). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt PMS2 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects PMS2 function (PMID: 27435373). Studies have shown that this missense change is associated with inconclusive levels of altered splicing (internal data). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
