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]

The p.G149D variant (also known as c.446G>A), located in coding exon 3 of the MSH2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 446. The glycine at codon 149 is replaced by aspartic acid, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant was identified in a proband with colorectal cancer diagnosed at age 37 (Chao EC et al. Hum. Mutat. 2008 Jun;29:852-60). This variant has been identified in a proband whose Lynch syndrome-associated tumor demonstrated high microsatellite instability and partial loss of MSH2/MSH6 expression by immunohistochemistry (Ambry internal data). In a massively parallel cell-based functional assay testing susceptibility to a DNA damaging agent, 6-thioguanine (6-TG), this variant was reported to be functionally deleterious (Jia X et al. Am J Hum Genet, 2021 Jan;108:163-175). This amino acid position is highly conserved through mammals but not in all available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -

The MSH2 p.Gly149Asp variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the UMD-LSDB database. The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs587779162) as "With Uncertain significance allele", and in ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by InSight). The variant was not identified in the following control databases: the Exome Aggregation Consortium (August 8th 2016), or the Genome Aggregation Database (Feb 27, 2017). The p.Gly149 residue is conserved in mammals but not in more distantly related organisms, and four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) suggest that the aspartic acid variant may impact the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 149 of the MSH2 protein (p.Gly149Asp). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with colorectal cancer (PMID: 18383312). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 91099). Advanced modeling performed at Invitae incorporating data from internal and/or published experimental studies (PMID: 33357406) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt MSH2 function with a positive predictive value of 95%. 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. -
