Variant summary
Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM1
The NM_000251.3(MSH2):c.2337G>A(p.Met779Ile) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000105 in 1,614,004 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. M779V) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
The p.M779I variant (also known as c.2337G>A), located in coding exon 14 of the MSH2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2337. The methionine at codon 779 is replaced by isoleucine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration was detected in one individual with colon cancer whose tumor demonstrated microsatellite stability, but showed absence of the MSH2 and MSH6 proteins on immunohistochemistry (IHC) (Barnetson RA et al. Hum. Mutat., 2008 Mar;29:367-74). This variant was also detected in 0/165 colorectal cancer and/or polyposis patients and was identified in 1/2512 control individuals from a healthy population database (Rosenthal EA et al. Hum Genet, 2018 Oct;137:795-806). In a massively parallel cell-based functional assay testing susceptibility to a DNA damaging agent, 6-thioguanine (6-TG), this variant was reported to be functionally neutral (Jia X et al. Am J Hum Genet, 2021 Jan;108:163-175). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
This missense variant replaces methionine with isoleucine at codon 779 of the MSH2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). This variant does not impact MSH2 function in a 6-thioguanine sensitivity assay in haploid human cells (internally defined LOF score threshold <= -1.32, PMID: 33357406). This variant has been reported in an individual affected with colorectal cancer with tumors showing microsatellite stability (PMID: 18033691). This variant has been identified in 1/251450 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. -
