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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpSep 26, 2022Variant summary: MSH2 c.991A>G (p.Asn331Asp) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the DNA mismatch repair protein MutS, core domain (IPR007696) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 251462 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. 5/5 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing and ESE finder predicts that this variant may eliminate a SRp55 site and create a SRp40 site. These predictions have been tested functionally through a minigene assay which confirmed that the variant does not affect splicing, despite splicing computational tools suggesting ESE sites are predicted to be affected (Tournier_2008). However, a cell-free in vitro MMR activity assay showed that this variant had 62.4% MMR activity (Drost_2019). c.991A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Lynch Syndrome and breast cancer (Tung_2015, Tournier_2008, Spaepen_2006). One of the studies carried out additional analysis: tumor tissue from a patient was tested for microsatellite instability (0 of 10 loci were unstable), MSH2 protein expression (immunostaining showed both MSH2 and MLH1 as positive), and segregation with disease in the family (the variant did not segregate with disease in the 3 family members tested). Together, these analyses suggest the variant does not contribute to tumorigenesis (Spaepen_2006). Six ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as uncertain significance (n=2) and likely benign (n=4) including an expert panel (InSiGHT), following a recent re-classification, citing the variant as uncertain significance (originally classified as likely benign in 2013) citing new tumour Likelihood Ratios: Multifactorial likelihood analysis posterior probabilty is in class 3. (0.091). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign. -
