Lynch syndrome Pathogenic:3
The MSH2 variant designated as NM_000251.2:c.301_306del is classified as likely pathogenic. Cosegregation analysis of one observed family was performed using analyze.myvariant.org (Rañola et al, 2018, PMID:28965303) and shows a likelihood ratio of 1.99 to 1 (Thompson, et al., 2003, PMID:1290079), which provides some evidence that this allele is pathogenic. Multifactorial likelihood analysis from the International Society for Gastrointestinal Hereditary Tumours (InSiGHT) database gives a 95% probability of pathogenicity for this variant as of the year 2016 (http://www.insight-database.org/classifications/). This variant is not found in the ExAC (exac.broadinstitute.org) or gnomAD (gnomad.broadinstitute.org) population databases or the UMD database (http://umd.be/). This genomic region is highly conserved across species. Bayesian analysis integrating all of this data (Tavtigian et al, 2018, PMID:29300386) gives a >99% probability of pathogenicity, which is consistent with a classification of pathogenic. This variant is predicted to alter MSH2 function and increase cancer risk. This analysis was performed in conjunction with the family studies project as part of the University of Washington Find My Variant Study. -

Variant summary: MSH2 c.301_306delGAAGTT (p.Glu101_Val102del) results in an in-frame deletion that is predicted to remove 2 amino acids from the DNA mismatch repair protein MutS-like, N-terminal domain of the encoded protein. The variant was absent in 251332 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.301_306delGAAGTT has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Lynch Syndrome (Latham_2019, Espenschied_2017, Goldberg_2008, Glasl_2000). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The International Society for Gastrointestinal Hereditary Tumours (InSiGHT) through multifactorial analysis classified the variant as likely pathogenic (Thompson_2014). Five ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic (n=1), likely pathogenic (n=3) and once as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

This deletion of 6 nucleotides in MSH2 is denoted c.301_306delGAAGTT at the cDNA level and p.E101_V102del at the protein level. This deletion is also known as MSH2 c.297_302delAGTTGA or 300_305delAGTTGA using alternate nomenclature. The normal sequence, with the bases that are deleted in braces, is AGTT[GAAGTT]TATA. This in frame deletion occurs in a region which is conserved across species and is located within the mismatch binding domain (Lutzen 2008). This variant was observed in at least two patients with early onset colorectal cancer meeting Lynch criteria with tumor studies demonstrating microsatellite instability and immunohistochemistry absent for MSH2 protein (Glasl 2000, Goldberg 2008). The International Society for Gastrointestinal Hereditary Tumours Incorporated (InSiGHT) classifies this variant as likely pathogenic (Thompson 2014). Based on the currently available information, we consider MSH2 p.Glu101_Val102del to be a likely pathogenic variant. -
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Pathogenic:1
This variant, c.301_306del, results in the deletion of 2 amino acid(s) of the MSH2 protein (p.Glu101_Val102del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individuals with Lynch syndrome or clinical features of Lynch syndrome (PMID: 10874318, 11179758, 18389388; externalcommunication, internal data). Invitae Evidence Modeling of clinical and family history, age, sex, and reported ancestry of multiple individuals with this MSH2 variant has been performed. This variant is expected to be pathogenic with a positive predictive value of at least 99%. This is a validated machine learning model that incorporates the clinical features of 1,370,736 individuals referred to our laboratory for MSH2 testing. This variant is also known as 300-305delAGTTGA, 300delAGTTGA, c.297_302delAGTTGA. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 91060). Based on a multifactorial likelihood algorithm using genetic, in silico, and/or statistical data, this variant has been determined to have a high probability of being pathogenic (PMID: 24362816). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
The c.301_306delGAAGTT variant (also known as p.E101_V102del) is located in coding exon 2 of the MSH2 gene. This variant results from an in-frame six base pair deletion between nucleotide positions 301 and 306. This results in the deletion of a glutamic acid residue and a valine residue, two highly conserved amino acids, between codons 101 and 102. This alteration has been previously reported in multiple families meeting Amsterdam and/or Bethesda criteria and included family members with colon tumors that demonstrated absent MSH2 staining on immunohistochemistry and high microsatellite instability (MSI-H) (Glasl et al. Hum Mutat. 2000 Jul;16(1):91-2; Goldberg et al. Fam Cancer. 2008;7(4):309-17; Ambry internal data). This alteration has been classified as likely pathogenic by multifactorial analysis, which integrates the following lines of evidence to produce a quantitative likelihood of pathogenicity: in silico prediction models, segregation with disease, tumor characteristics, mutation co-occurrence, and functional assay results (Thompson B et al. Nat Genet. 2014 Feb;46(2):107-15). Of note, this variant is also referred to as 300-305delAGTTGA and c.297_302delAGTTGA in published literature. This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis (Choi Y et al. PLoS ONE. 2012; 7(10):e46688). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
