Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -1 ACMG points: 0P and 1B. BP6
The NM_000251.3(MSH2):c.2786G>A(p.Arg929Gln) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000822 in 1,459,394 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R929L) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

The MSH2 c.2786G>A; p.Arg929Gln variant (rs587779967), to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature but is reported in the ClinVar database (Variation ID: 127639). This variant is found in the general population with a low overall allele frequency of 0.002% (4/248546 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The arginine at codon 929 is moderately conserved, but computational analyses (SIFT: Damaging, PolyPhen-2: Benign) predict conflicting effects of this variant on protein structure/function. Due to limited information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time. -
This variant is denoted MSH2 c.2786G>A at the cDNA level, p.Arg929Gln (R929Q) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Arginine to a Glutamine (CGA>CAA). It has not been published as a germline pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign polymorphism, to our knowledge. However, the MSH2 Arg929Gln amino acid substitution has previously been reported as a somatic change in one endometrial tumor according to the Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer (COSMIC). MSH2 Arg929Gln was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Arginine and Glutamine differ in some properties, this is considered a semi-conservative amino acid substitution. MSH2 Arg929Gln occurs at a position that is not conserved and is located within the region of interaction with MSH6 and MSH3 (Lutzen 2008). In silico analyses are inconsistent regarding the effect this variant may have on protein structure and function. Based on currently available information, it is unclear whether MSH2 Arg929Gln is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome    Uncertain:2 
This missense variant replaces arginine with glutamine at codon 929 of the MSH2 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with MSH2-related disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 4/248546 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. -
The p.R929Q variant (also known as c.2786G>A), located in coding exon 16 of the MSH2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2786. The arginine at codon 929 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

This variant is considered likely benign. This variant is strongly associated with less severe personal and family histories of cancer, typical for individuals without pathogenic variants in this gene [PMID: 27363726]. -
