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]

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome

Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Mar 31, 2023	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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Sep 05, 2023	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 sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 779 of the MSH2 protein (p.Met779Ile). This variant is present in population databases (rs41295292, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with colorectal cancer (PMID: 18033691). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 90958). Advanced modeling performed at Invitae incorporating data from internal and/or published experimental studies (PMID: 33357406) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt MSH2 function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
