Submissions by phenotype
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 cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
The c.2459-2A>C intronic pathogenic mutation results from an A to C substitution two nucleotides upstream from coding exon 15 in the MSH2 gene. This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Using the BDGP and ESEfinder splice site prediction tools, this alteration is predicted to abolish the native splice acceptor site; however, direct evidence is unavailable. Two known disease-causing mutations, c.2459-2A>G and c.2459-1G>A, affect the same canonical splice site and have been reported in families meeting Amsterdam II criteria (Sunga AY et al. Cancer Genet. 2017 Apr;212-213:1-7; Ambry internal data). Somatic data also supports the pathogenicity of this variant (Haraldsdottir S et al. Nat Commun, 2017 05;8:14755). Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein. As such, this alteration is classified as a disease-causing mutation. -
