In the published literature, the variant has been reported in individuals with a personal or family history of colorectal cancer (PMID: 26900293 (2016), 33413596 (2021)) and breast cancer (PMID: 35449176 (2022), 36200007 (2022)). In a large-scale breast cancer association study, the variant was observed in individuals with breast cancer as well as in unaffected individuals (see LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/PMS2) and PMID: 33471991 (2021)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00035 (6/17216 chromosomes in East Asian 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.
In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 36200007); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 26900293, 33413596, 37534630, 18619468, 36200007)
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:3
This missense variant replaces arginine with tryptophan at codon 813 of the PMS2 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). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with colorectal cancer (PMID: 26900293, 34172528). This variant has been identified in 19/201724 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.
The p.R813W variant (also known as c.2437C>T), located in coding exon 14 of the PMS2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2437. The arginine at codon 813 is replaced by tryptophan, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. One study detected this alteration in 1/103 individuals diagnosed with colorectal cancer (Chang YC et al. World J. Gastroenterol., 2016 Feb;22:2314-25). This alteration has also been reported in a cohort of 235 individuals diagnosed with breast cancer (Mittal A et al. Ecancermedicalscience, 2022 Aug;16:1434). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear.

not specified Uncertain:2
Variant summary: PMS2 c.2437C>T (p.Arg813Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the MutL, 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 6.1e-05 in 1565522 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 1 homozygote. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in PMS2 causing Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer (6.1e-05 vs 7.1e-05), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. Additionally, this allele frequency needs to be cautiously considered due to the possibility of the PMS2 pseudogene being captured. c.2437C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Colorectal Cancer (Chang_2016), therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (Singhal_2021), gastric cancer (Zhang_2021), and breast cancer (Hu_2022, Mittal_2022), or with suspected unspecified cancer syndrome (Bouras_2024), however, all without strong evidence for causality. These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer. 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, 33413596, 26900293, 35449176, 36200007, 33850299, 34567566). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 127783). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance.
