Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:3Benign:1
This missense variant replaces threonine with methionine at codon 703 of the PMS2 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual suspected of having Lynch syndrome (PMID: 25980754). This variant has been identified in 19/254432 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
- -
This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

Lynch syndrome 4 Uncertain:3
This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance as there is insufficient evidence to determine its impact on protein function and/or cancer risk. -

not provided Uncertain:2
In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Observed in patients with a personal history of a Lynch syndrome-associated cancer and/or polyps (PMID: 25980754, 37534630); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 31159747, 22949387, 18619468, Fukui2011[Chapter], 37534630, 25980754) -
The PMS2 c.2108C>T (p.Thr703Met) variant has been reported in the published literature in an individual with Lynch syndrome related cancer (PMID: 25980754 (2015)) as well as an individual with a personal and/or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 31159747 (2019)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0008 (17/21360 chromosomes in African/African American subpopulation (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is higher than would generally be expected for pathogenic variants in this gene. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
not specified Uncertain:1Benign:1
This sequence change has been previously described in an individual with history of LS-associated cancer and/or colorectal polyps(PMID: 25980754). This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database with a frequency of 0.080% in the African subpopulation (dbSNP rs370196722); however, population data in this region of PMS2 is not considered reliable due to high pseudogene homology. The p.Thr703Met change affects a moderately conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the PMS2 protein that is known to be functional. In-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL) provide contradictory results for the p.Thr703Met substitution. Due to insufficient evidence and the lack of functional studies, the clinical significance of the p.Thr703Met change remains unknown at this time. -
Variant summary: PMS2 c.2108C>T (p.Thr703Met) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the C-terminal dimerisation domain (IPR014790) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5.8e-05 in 223266 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00086 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 7.5 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in PMS2 causing Lynch Syndrome phenotype (0.00011). However, this observation needs to be cautiously considered since sequence alignment analysis suggests that the variant lies within a region of the gene that has high homology with the PMS2 pseudogene. c.2108C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals who underwent genetic testing for Lynch Syndrome or hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (Yurgelun_2015, Tsaousis_2019, Martin_2024, Bouras_2024, Sjursen_2024). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Lynch Syndrome. This variant has been reported in one patient who carries a pathogenic PMS2 variant but not affected with Constitutional Mismatch Repair Deficiency, suggesting the variant may be benign (Sjursen_2024). 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: 37534630, 38566764, 39334433, 31159747, 25980754). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 127773). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
