Lynch syndrome Pathogenic:3
Interrupts canonical donor splice site -
This variant causes a G>A nucleotide substitution at the +1 position of intron 13 of the MSH2 gene. Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may have a significant impact on RNA splicing. Although this prediction has not been confirmed in published RNA studies, this variant is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant has been described in multiple individuals and families affected with Lynch syndrome and Lynch-syndrome associated cancers, and tumor data from some of these individuals demonstrated high microsatellite instability and/or loss of MSH2/MSH6 protein expression via immunohistochemistry analysis (PMID: 18307539, 24710284, 30093976; ClinVar SCV000580436.5). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of MSH2 function is a known mechanism of disease. Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
The c.2210+1G>A variant in MSH2 has been reported in three individuals with MSH2-related cancers and HNPCC and segregated with disease in four affected individuals from one family (Kamory 2006, Yan 2008, Chan 2018). It was absent from large population studies. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 90921). This variant occurs within the canonical splice site (+/- 1,2) and is predicted to cause altered splicing leading to an abnormal or absent protein. Loss of function of the MSH2 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal dominant HNPCC. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant HNPCC.

Hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer Pathogenic:1
Variant summary: MSH2 c.2210+1G>A is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing and loss of MSH2 function. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Four predict the variant abolishes a canonical 5' splicing donor site. The variant was absent in 251444 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.2210+1G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with features of Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer (e.g. Yan_2007, Liu_2014, Yurgelun_2015, Chan_2018). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 17894833, 18307539, 24710284, 30093976, 25980754). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 90921). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
Lynch syndrome 1 Pathogenic:1
This variant is considered likely pathogenic. This variant occurs within a consensus splice junction and is predicted to result in abnormal mRNA splicing of either an out-of-frame exon or an in-frame exon necessary for protein stability and/or normal function. -
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Pathogenic:1
This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 13 of the MSH2 gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or altered protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Lynch syndrome (PMID: 12362047, 17189986, 18307539, 24710284, 30093976; internal data). Invitae Evidence Modeling of clinical and family history, age, sex, and reported ancestry of multiple individuals with this MSH2 variant has been performed. This variant is expected to be pathogenic with a positive predictive value of at least 99%. This is a validated machine learning model that incorporates the clinical features of 1,370,736 individuals referred to our laboratory for MSH2 testing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 90921). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 13, and produces a non-functional protein and/or introduces a premature termination codon (internal data). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
The c.2210+1G>A intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 13 of the MSH2 gene. This variant has been identified in probands whose Lynch syndrome-associated tumor demonstrated high microsatellite instability and loss of MSH2 expression by immunohistochemistry (Yan HL et al. Cancer Sci. 2008 Apr;99(4):770-80; Ambry internal data). In addition, another alteration at this location, c.2210+1G>C, has been identified in a Lynch syndrome kindred and reported to cause an out of frame deletion of exon 13 (Kámory E et al. Pathol. Oncol. Res. 2006;12(4):228-33; Kurzawski G et al. Clin. Genet. 2006 Jan;69(1):40-7). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as a disease-causing mutation. -
