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 22 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 6.7, offset of -10, new splice context is: cagGTgaag.

not provided Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Aug 28, 2015	This pathogenic variant is denoted MSH2 c.2458+1G>A or IVS14+1G>A and consists of a G>A nucleotide substitution at the +1 position of intron 14 of the MSH2 gene. The variant destroys a canonical splice donor site and is predicted to cause abnormal gene splicing, leading to either an abnormal message that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay or to an abnormal protein product. This variant has been reported in at least one individual with a suggestive history of Lynch syndrome (Mangold 2005). we consider this variant to be pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Jun 01, 2020	This variant causes a G to A nucleotide substitution at the +1 position of intron 14 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 reported in an individual with personal and/or family history of Lynch syndrome-associated cancers (PMID: 15849733). 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 (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Apr 02, 2021	The c.2458+1G>A intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 14 of the MSH2 gene. This pathogenic mutation was previously identified in one individual whose personal and/or family history was suggestive of HNPCC/Lynch syndrome (Mangold E et al. Int. J. Cancer 2005 Sep;116:692-702). This pathogenic mutation has also been identified in several unrelated individuals whose Lynch syndrome associated tumors demonstrated loss of both MSH2/MSH6 by immunohistochemistry and one proband had a family history that met Amsterdam I criteria (Ambry internal data). In addition, this pathogenic mutation co-segregated with disease in one family tested in our laboratory (Ambry internal data). In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site and may result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice donor site. In addition to the clinical data from our internal cohort and 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. -

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. -

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 14 of the MSH2 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and 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). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Lynch syndrome (PMID: 15849733, 31615790, 35100712). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 90976). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site is associated with inconclusive levels of altered splicing (Invitae). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
