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]

Hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpDec 13, 2024Variant summary: MSH2 c.1661+5G>A alters a conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Two predict the variant abolishes a 5' splicing donor site. One predicts the variant weakens a 5' donor site. One predicts the variant has no significant impact on splicing. Internal data suggests that this variant affects mRNA splicing by introducing frameshifts expected to result in nonsense mediated decay (Labcorp Genetics, formerly Invitae). The variant was absent in 250972 control chromosomes. c.1661+5G>A has been reported internally and in the literature in the presumed heterozygous state in multiple individuals affected with clinical features of Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer (example, Roht_2022, Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae)). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 36425062). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 230181). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpOct 12, 2022For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant results in skipping of exon 10 and introduces a premature termination codon (Invitae). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 230181). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with Lynch syndrome (Invitae). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change falls in intron 10 of the MSH2 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the MSH2 protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsOct 04, 2024The c.1661+5G>A intronic variant results from a G to A substitution 5 nucleotides after coding exon 10 in the MSH2 gene. This variant has been identified in a proband(s) whose Lynch syndrome-associated tumor demonstrated loss of MSH2/MSH6 expression by immunohistochemistry (Ambry internal data). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site; however, direct evidence is insufficient at this time (Ambry internal data). Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
