Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 1 ACMG points: 2P and 1B. PM1BP4
The ENST00000265849.12(PMS2):c.880C>T(p.Arg294Trp) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000174 in 1,613,660 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 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. R294P) has been classified as Uncertain significance.
PMS2 (HGNC:9122): (PMS1 homolog 2, mismatch repair system component) The protein encoded by this gene is a key component of the mismatch repair system that functions to correct DNA mismatches and small insertions and deletions that can occur during DNA replication and homologous recombination. This protein forms heterodimers with the gene product of the mutL homolog 1 (MLH1) gene to form the MutL-alpha heterodimer. The MutL-alpha heterodimer possesses an endonucleolytic activity that is activated following recognition of mismatches and insertion/deletion loops by the MutS-alpha and MutS-beta heterodimers, and is necessary for removal of the mismatched DNA. There is a DQHA(X)2E(X)4E motif found at the C-terminus of the protein encoded by this gene that forms part of the active site of the nuclease. Mutations in this gene have been associated with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC; also known as Lynch syndrome) and Turcot syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2016]

This missense variant replaces arginine with tryptophan at codon 294 of the PMS2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been observed in an individual affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 29470806) and unaffected control individuals in a pancreatic cancer case-control study (PMID: 32980694). This variant has been identified in 12/282786 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.R294W variant (also known as c.880C>T), located in coding exon 8 of the PMS2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 880. The arginine at codon 294 is replaced by tryptophan, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration was identified in multiple individuals diagnosed with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Singh J et al. Breast Cancer Res Treat, 2018 Jul;170:189-196; Mittal A et al. Ecancermedicalscience, 2022 Aug;16:1434). 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. -

The PMS2 c.880C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg294Trp. This variant has been reported in individuals with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Table S4, Singh et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29470806; Mittal A et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 36200007). This variant is reported in 0.026% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD. It has conflicting interpretations of likely benign and uncertain significance in ClinVar (https://preview.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/127799/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 294 of the PMS2 protein (p.Arg294Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs563433235, gnomAD 0.03%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 29470806). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 127799). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt PMS2 protein 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. -
