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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-47414406-TA-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-47414406-TA-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 127655.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Nov 19, 2021	The c.932delA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 5 of the MSH2 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 932, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.N311Tfs*20). This alteration has been observed in at least one individual with a personal and/or family history that is consistent with MSH2-related disease (Ambry internal data). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Jan 15, 2020	This variant deletes 1 nucleotide in exon 5 of the MSH2 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of MSH2 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: MSH2 c.932delA (p.Asn311ThrfsX20) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 230146 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.932delA has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with colon polyps (Susswein_2016). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Four ClinVar submissions from clinical diagnostic laboratories (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asn311Thrfs*20) 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 colon polyps (PMID: 26681312). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 127655). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
