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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 382 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-47403210-GA-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-47403210-GA-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 90886.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars. Variant chr2-47403210-GA-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

This deletion of one nucleotide in MSH2 is denoted c.20delA at the cDNA level and p.Glu7GlyfsX57 (E7GfsX57) at the protein level. The normal sequence, with the base that is deleted in brackets, is AAGG[delA]GACG. The deletion causes a frameshift which changes a Glutamic Acid to a Glycine at codon 7, and creates a premature stop codon at position 57 of the new reading frame. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. MSH2 c.20delA has been observed in at least one family suspected of having Lynch syndrome; and in another individual with a personal history of colorectal cancer, whose tumor studies demonstrated microsatellite instability and absence of MSH2 protein expression on immunohistochemistry (Julie 2008, Bonadona 2011). We consider this variant to be pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu7Glyfs*57) 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 colon cancer (PMID: 18759827). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 90886). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.20delA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 1 of the MSH2 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at position 20, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.E7Gfs*57). This alteration has been previously identified in an individual with multiple primary colon cancers (Juli&eacute; C et al. Am. J. Gastroenterol. 2008; 103:2825-35). 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, since frameshifts are typically deleterious in nature, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation (ACMG Recommendations for Standards for Interpretation and Reporting of Sequence Variations. Revision 2007. Genet Med. 2008;10:294). -
