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]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The MSH2 c.1790A>C (p.Asp597Ala) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.0087% gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting; https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/2-47702194-A-C). In silico tools are not in agreement about a tolerated or damaging effect on the gene or protein product and functional studies have not been performed. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals with Lynch syndrome or CMMRD. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as of uncertain significance based on the ACMG/AMP criteria: PM2_Supporting. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces aspartic acid with alanine at codon 597 of the MSH2 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). A functional study reported that this variant may not impact DNA mismatch repair activity based on a 6-thioguanine sensitivity assay in Msh2-deficient haploid human cells (PMID: 33357406). This variant has been reported in one individual affected with pediatric leukemia (PMID: 26580448), an individual affected with an unspecified Lynch syndrome-associated cancer (PMID: 31391288), and in a healthy control (PMID: 33471991). This variant has been identified in 4/251456 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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The MSH2 c.1790A>C (p.Asp597Ala) has been reported in individuals affected with a Lynch syndrome-associated cancer (PMID: 31391288 (2020)) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (PMID: 26580448 (2015)). This variant has also been identified in reportedly healthy individuals (PMID: 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/MSH2)). A screening assay based on cell survival in response to 6-thioguanine treatment indicated the variant has neutral effects on DNA mismatch repair function in vivo (PMID: 33357406 (2021)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000087 (3/34586 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is deleterious or benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Not 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 suggest a neutral effect: demonstrates sensitivity to 6-TG and mismatch repair (MMR) function similar to wild-type (PMID: 33357406); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 31569399, 33471991, 31391288, 18822302, 9774676, 21120944, 26580448, 33357406) -

This missense variant replaces aspartic acid with alanine at codon 597 of the MSH2 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). 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 one individual affected with pediatric leukemia (PMID: 26580448), an individual affected with an unspecified Lynch syndrome-associated cancer (PMID: 31391288), and in a healthy control (PMID: 33471991). This variant has been identified in 4/251456 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD).

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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The MSH2 c.1790A>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Asp597Ala. This variant has been reported in an individual with hypodiploid acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Table S4A, Zhang et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26580448). In addition, this variant is observed once and interpreted as variant of uncertain significance in a cohort study of 4740 patients with Lynch syndrome associated cancer (Table S5, Li et al 2020. PubMed ID: 31391288). This variant is reported in 0.0087% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD and is interpreted as uncertain by the vast majority of submitters in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/183758/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp
Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: MSH2 c.1790A>C (p.Asp597Ala) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the core domain (IPR007696) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00011 in 150914 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.001 within the Latino subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within Latino control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 1.8 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in MSH2 causing Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer phenotype (0.00057). c.1790A>C has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with pediatric leukemia and Lynch syndrome-associated cancer (Zhang_2015, Li_2020), but was also found among healthy controls (Dorling_2021). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer/Lynch syndrome. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, and demonstrated that the variant restores 6-thioguanine sensitivity, thus likely does not impact DNA mismatch repair activity (Jia_2021). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 33471991, 33357406, 31391288, 31569399, 26580448). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 183758). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
