Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000251.3(MSH2):​c.1771_1772insA​(p.Pro591HisfsTer7) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. P591P) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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]

Jul 01, 2021

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in MSH2 are known to be pathogenic. This particular variant has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 12362047). This sequence change inserts 1 nucleotide in exon 12 of the MSH2 mRNA (c.1771_1772insA), causing a frameshift at codon 591. This creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Pro591Hisfs*7) and is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.1771_1772insA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 12 of the MSH2 gene, results from an insertion of one nucleotide at position 1771, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.P591Hfs*7). This variant has been previously identified in a Polish cohort of HNPPC/Lynch syndrome kindreds (Kurzawski G et al. J. Med. Genet. 2002 Oct;39:E65; Kurzawski G et al. Clin. Genet. 2006 Jan;69:40-7; Kurzawski G et al. J. Biochem. Biophys. Methods. 2002 Mar;51:89-100; Kurzawski G. Hered Cancer Clin Pract, 2006 Dec;4:197-205). 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. -
