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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-47480759-TAG-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-47480759-TAG-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 90993.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars. Variant chr2-47480759-TAG-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided	clinical testing	Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System	-	The p.Glu842ValfsX3 variant was identified in an individual with Lynch syndrome in a study by Valentin (2011). The variant was also identified in the HGMD, InSiGHT Colon Cancer database and the ClinVar database (submitted by InSiGHT with a pathogenic classification). The p.Glu842ValfsX3 deletion variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 842 and leads to a premature stop codon 3 codons downstream. This alteration is then predicted to result in a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. Loss of function variants of the MSH2 gene are an established mechanism of disease in Lynch syndrome and this is the type of variant expected to cause the disorder. In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Feb 09, 2017	The c.2525_2526delAG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 15 of the MSH2 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 2525 to 2526, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.E842Vfs*3). This mutation has been identified in two unrelated Brazilian Lynch syndrome families (Dominguez-Valentin M et al. Hered Cancer Clin Pract. 2013 Dec;11:18). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Nov 10, 2020	This variant deletes 2 nucleotides in exon 15 of the MSH2 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 21681552, 24344984). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of MSH2 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu842Valfs*3) in the MSH2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been reported in the literature in families affected with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 21681552, 24344984). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 90993). Loss-of-function variants in MSH2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15849733, 24362816). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
