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]

not provided Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxDec 19, 2022Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Published functional studies are inconclusive: increased mutation rate compared to wild type controls in a yeast based assay (Ollodart et al., 2020); Observed in individuals with a personal history of ovarian cancer or pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (Pal et al., 2012; Shindo et al., 2017; Hu et al., 2020); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 25637381, 23047549, 28767289, 32659497, 27535533, 18822302, 21120944, 33848333) -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingQuest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan CapistranoOct 17, 2022The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000035 (4/113736 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in individuals with ovarian cancer (PMID: 23047549 (2012)) and pancreatic cancer (PMID: 32659497 (2020), 28767289 (2017)). A yeast based functional study has reported inconclusive findings regarding the effect on this variant on MSH2 protein function (PMID: 33848333 (2021)). 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. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1Benign:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthMar 09, 2021This missense variant replaces glutamic acid with lysine at codon 643 of the MSH2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). However, a functional study has reported that this variant does not impact MSH2 function in a 6-thioguanine sensitivity assay in haploid human cells (PMID: 33357406). This variant has been reported in one individual each affected with ovarian cancer (PMID: 23047549) and pancreatic cancer (PMID: 28767289, 32659497). This variant has also been observed in trans with a pathogenic whole gene deletion of the MSH2 gene in an individual affected with an unspecified gynecological cancer (ClinVar variation ID 161299). This variant has been identified in 4/251452 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. -
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsApr 03, 2023This 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. -
not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpDec 12, 2022Variant summary: MSH2 c.1927G>A (p.Glu643Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the DNA mismatch repair protein MutS, core domain (IPR007696) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 251452 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1927G>A has been reported in individuals affected with Ovarian Cancer and Pancreatic Cancer, however these reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Lynch Syndrome (Pal_2012, Shindo_2017). One publication using the yeast ortholog of the variant showed a modest increase in random mutation rates in a continuous culture assay (Ollodart_2021). The increase in mutation rates observed did not indicate loss of function, therefore not allowing for convincing conclusions about the variant on protein function. Five ClinVar submitters have assessed the variant since 2014: four classified the variant as uncertain significance and one as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
MSH2-related disorder Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesJan 11, 2023The MSH2 c.1927G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Glu643Lys. This variant was reported in an individual with ovarian cancer and an individual with pancreatic adenocarcinoma (Table 2, Pal et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 23047549; Table A2, Shindo et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28767289). This variant is reported in 4 of ~251,000 alleles in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/2-47702331-G-A; Table S1, Amendola et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25637381) and has conflicting interpretations of likely benign and uncertain significance in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/161299/643). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
