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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano	Aug 12, 2024	The MSH2 c.1321A>C (p.Thr441Pro) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with colorectal cancer (PMIDs: 16636019 (2006), 18383312 (2008)) and ovarian cancer (PMID: 23047549 (2012)). It has also been observed in individuals with breast cancer as well as in reportedly healthy individuals (PMIDs: 25503501 (2015), 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/)). Experimental studies indicate this variant has neutral effects on MSH2 protein stability and DNA repair function (PMIDs: 31237724 (2019), 33357406 (2021)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000054 (7/128884 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 predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Uncertain:3

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories	May 15, 2019	The MSH2 c.1321A>C; p.Thr441Pro variant (rs587779086) is reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with colorectal, ovarian, and breast cancer (Chao 2008, Maxwell 2015, Pal 2012). This variant is reported as a variant of uncertain significance by multiple laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID: 90628), and is found in the non-Finnish European population with an allele frequency of 0.005% (7/128884 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The threonine at codon 441 is weakly conserved, and computational analyses (Ali 2012, SIFT, PolyPhen-2) predict that this variant is tolerated. Due to conflicting information, the clinical significance of the p.Thr441Pro variant is uncertain at this time. References Ali H et al.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	May 21, 2021	Variant summary: MSH2 c.1321A>C (p.Thr441Pro) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the DNA mismatch repair protein mut S, core domain (IPR007696) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 251298 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1321A>C has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MSI-low colorectal cancer and one patient with positive IHC staining for MLH1 and MSH2 (Chao_2008, Niessen_2006), early onset breast cancer (Maxwell_2014), epithelial ovarian cancer (Pal_2012). 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. These results showed no damaging effect of this variant on measures of protein stability, DNA repair function and damage response signaling in an experimental system using CRISPR Cas9 gene editing to engineer VUS in human embryonic cells (Rath_2019). Six clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation (likely benign, n=1; VUS, n=5). Some submitters, to include one classifying the variant as likely benign utilize overlapping functional and other evidence utilized in the context of this evaluation. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome

Uncertain:2Benign:1

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Jul 17, 2020	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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Dec 13, 2023	This missense variant replaces threonine with proline at codon 441 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). Functional studies have reported that this variant rescued MSH2-deficient human embryonic stem cells (PMID: 31237724) and had intermediate MSH2 function in a 6-thioguanine sensitivity assay in haploid human cells (internally defined LOF score threshold -1.32 < LOF score < 0.88, PMID: 33357406). This variant has been observed in individuals affected with Lynch syndrome-associated cancers (PMID: 16636019, 18383312, 23047549) for which tumors in two carriers showed mismatch repair-proficient characteristics (PMID: 16636019, 18383312). This variant also has been reported in an individual affected with breast cancer (PMID: 25503501). This variant has been identified in 7/282308 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 MSH2 c.1321A>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Thr441Pro. This variant has been reported in association with multiple cancer types including pancreatic (Niessen et al. 2006. PubMed ID: 16636019, sup. table 1), breast (Maxwell et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25503501, sup. table 1), ovarian (Pal et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 23047549, sup. table 1, Niessen et al. 2006. PubMed ID: 16636019, sup. table 1) and colon cancer (Chao et al. 2008. PubMed ID: 18383312). This variant is reported in 0.0054% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD and has conflicting interpretations regarding its pathogenicity in ClinVar, ranging from benign to uncertain (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/90628/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -
