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]

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces phenylalanine with leucine at codon 163 of the PMS2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with colorectal cancer (PMID: 28135145), breast cancer (PMID: 34326862), and unspecified cancer (PMID: 28873162). In a large breast cancer case-control study, this variant has been reported in 4/60466 cases and 1/53461 unaffected controls (PMID: 33471991). This variant has not been identified 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. -

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

The p.F163L variant (also known as c.487T>C), located in coding exon 5 of the PMS2 gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 487. The phenylalanine at codon 163 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration, classified as a variant of unknown significance, was detected in a cohort of 1058 patients with colorectal cancer (Yurgelun MB et al. J. Clin. Oncol., 2017 Apr;35:1086-1095) and in a cohort of 1040 individuals with advanced cancer undergoing paried tumor-normal DNA testing (Mandelker D et al. JAMA, 2017 Sep;318:825-835). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces phenylalanine with leucine at codon 163 of the PMS2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with colorectal cancer (PMID: 28135145) and unspecified cancer (PMID: 28873162). In a large breast cancer case-control study, this variant has been reported in 4/60466 cases and 1/53461 unaffected controls (PMID: 33471991). This variant has not been identified 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. -

This sequence change replaces phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 163 of the PMS2 protein (p.Phe163Leu). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with colorectal and breast cancer (PMID: 28135145, 34326862). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 127792). Invitae Evidence Modeling incorporating data from in vitro experimental studies (internal data) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt PMS2 function with a negative predictive value of 95%. 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. -
