Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000251.3(MSH2):​c.873_876del​(p.Thr292LeufsTer8) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. E290E) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesDec 13, 2020The MSH2 c.873_876delGACT; p.Thr292LeufsTer8 variant (rs587779191) has been reported in the literature in at least one individual with Lynch syndrome (Kunstmann 2004, Mangold 2005). The variant is reported as pathogenic by several sources in the ClinVar database (Variation ID: 91236) and is absent from general population databases (Exome Variant Server, Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant causes a frameshift by deleting 4 nucleotides, so it is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References Kunstmann E et al. HNPCC: six new pathogenic mutations. BMC Med Genet. 2004 Jun 24;5:16. Mangold E et al.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeMay 04, 2022This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Thr292Leufs*8) in the MSH2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MSH2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15849733, 24362816). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 15217520, 15849733). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 91236). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMay 12, 2021The c.873_876delGACT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 5 of the MSH2 gene, results from a deletion of 4 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 873 to 876, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.T292Lfs*8). This mutation was identified in a patient with colorectal cancer at age 42 that was MSI-H and demonstrated loss of MSH2 and MSH6 by immunohistochemistry, and the patient's family history meet Amsterdam criteria I (Kunstmann E et al. BMC Med. Genet. 2004 Jun;5:16). 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. -
