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:2Benign:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Center for Genomic Medicine, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen University Hospital	Mar 04, 2025	Classification criteria: BP4_supp -
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Aug 04, 2016	This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Jul 11, 2021	Variant summary: MSH2 c.645+3A>G alters a conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. 4/4 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. This has been further corroborated by RNA studies demonstrating no abnormal splicing leading to its re-classification as a likely benign variant (Karam_2019). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 250270 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.645+3A>G has been reported in the literature among individuals undergoing multigene panel testing for hereditary cancer (example, Kiyozumi_2019, Karam_2019). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Lynch Syndrome. Five clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Multiple laboratories reported the variant with conflicting assessments (likely benign, n=3, VUS, n=2). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine	Mar 06, 2017	The c.645+3A>G variant in MSH2 has not been previously reported in individuals w ith Lynch syndrome but has been identified in 1/8640 of East Asian chromosomes b y the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs587779168). This variant is located in the 5' splice region. Computational too ls do not suggest an impact to splicing. However, this information is not predic tive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In addition, this variant was classified as a variant of uncertain significance on Sept. 5, 2013 by the ClinGen-approved InSiGHT expert panel (SCV000107696.2). In summary, the clinical significance of the c.645+3A>G variant is uncertain. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome

Uncertain:1Benign:1

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Apr 24, 2023	This variant causes an A to G nucleotide substitution at the +3 position of intron 3 of the MSH2 gene. An RNA study performed demonstrated this variant had no impact on RNA splicing (PMID: 31642931). This variant has been reported in an individual affected with an unspecified cancer (PMID: 31386297). This variant has been identified in 3/250270 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. -
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Jan 20, 2018	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. -
