Submissions by phenotype
Lynch syndrome 1 Pathogenic:1
This variant is considered pathogenic. This variant occurs within a consensus splice junction and is predicted to result in abnormal mRNA splicing of either an out-of-frame exon or an in-frame exon necessary for protein stability and/or normal function. Functional studies indicate this variant impacts protein function [PMID: 8062247]. -
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Pathogenic:1
ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 823244). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 5, but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame (Invitae). This variant disrupts a region of the MSH2 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Leu310) have been determined to be pathogenic (Invitae). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Lynch syndrome (PMID: 18566915, 21520333). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 5 of the MSH2 gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and likely results in a shortened protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
The c.942+1G>A intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 5 of the MSH2 gene. This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Using two different splice site prediction tools, this alteration is predicted by BDGP to abolish the native splice donor site, but is predicted to weaken (but not abolish) the efficiency of the native splice donor site by ESEfinder; however, direct evidence is unavailable. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as a disease-causing mutation. -
