Genes affected
PMS2 (HGNC:9122): (PMS1 homolog 2, mismatch repair system component) The protein encoded by this gene is a key component of the mismatch repair system that functions to correct DNA mismatches and small insertions and deletions that can occur during DNA replication and homologous recombination. This protein forms heterodimers with the gene product of the mutL homolog 1 (MLH1) gene to form the MutL-alpha heterodimer. The MutL-alpha heterodimer possesses an endonucleolytic activity that is activated following recognition of mismatches and insertion/deletion loops by the MutS-alpha and MutS-beta heterodimers, and is necessary for removal of the mismatched DNA. There is a DQHA(X)2E(X)4E motif found at the C-terminus of the protein encoded by this gene that forms part of the active site of the nuclease. Mutations in this gene have been associated with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC; also known as Lynch syndrome) and Turcot syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2016]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant has not been reported in the published literature. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000079 (10/126644 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using software algorithms for the prediction of the effect of nucleotide changes on splicing yielded predictions that this variant may affect proper PMS2 mRNA splicing . Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

In silico analysis is inconclusive as to whether the variant alters gene splicing. In the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown.; Observed in an individual with ovarian cancer in published literature (PMID: 34326862); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 34326862) -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: The PMS2 c.2174+6T>C variant involves the alteration of a conserved intronic nucleotide. One in silico tool predicts a damaging outcome for this variant. 5/5 splice prediction tools predict weakening effect on canonical splicing donor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. This variant was found in 5/94552 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000529, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic PMS2 variant (0.0001136). In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as uncertain significance. The variant of interest has not, to our knowledge, been reported in affected individuals via publications and/or reputable databases/clinical diagnostic laboratories; nor evaluated for functional impact by in vivo/vitro studies. Because of the absence of clinical information and the lack of functional studies, the variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance (VUS) until additional information becomes available. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The PMS2 c.2174+6T>C variant (rs587780050, ClinVar Variation ID 127775) is reported in the literature in one individual affected with ovarian cancer (Bhai 2021). This variant is found predominantly in the non-Finnish European population with an allele frequency of 0.01% (135/1178970 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database (v4.1.0). This is an intronic variant and computational analyses (Alamut Visual Plus v.1.5.1) predict that this variant may impact splicing by weakening the nearby canonical donor splice site. While the high population frequency suggests that this is likely a benign variant, given the lack of clinical and functional data, the significance of this variant is uncertain at this time.

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant causes a T to C nucleotide substitution at the +6 position of intron 12 of the PMS2 gene. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has been identified in 11/277164 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. -

Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Uncertain:1

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change falls in intron 12 of the PMS2 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the PMS2 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases (gnomAD) is considered unreliable due to the presence of homologous sequence, such as pseudogenes or paralogs, in the genome. This variant has been observed in individual(s) with ovarian cancer (PMID: 34326862). This variant has been observed on the opposite chromosome (in trans) from a pathogenic variant in PMS2 in an individual who was not affected with recessive PMS2-related conditions (Invitae). This suggests that this variant may not be disease-causing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 127775). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant is associated with inconclusive levels of altered splicing (Invitae). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
