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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Mar 01, 2024	Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Observed in an individual with biallelic RNU4ATAC variants and a diagnosis of Roifman syndrome; however, information regarding family history of cancer was not provided (PMID: 26522830); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 11574484, 26522830) -
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria provided	clinical testing	Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System	-	The PMS2 p.Gln237Leu variant was not identified in the literature but was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs587780061) as “with Uncertain significance allele”; in the ClinVar and Clinvitae databases as uncertain significance by GeneDx, Ambry Genetics and Invitae. The variant was not identified in the GeneInsight –COGR, Cosmic, MutDB; Insight Colon Cancer Gene Variant, Zhejiang Colon Cancer, Mismatch Repair Genes Variant, or Insight Hereditary tumors databases. The variant was not identified in the 1000 Genomes or in the NHLBI GO Exome Sequencing Projects. The variant was identified in control databases in 1 of 24222 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00004 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). Breakdown of the observations by population include European Non-Finnish in 1 of 11546 chromosomes (freq: 0.0001), while the variant was not observed in the African, Other, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, European Finnish, and South Asian populations. The p.Gln237 residue is conserved in mammals but not in more distant organisms and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Jul 30, 2024	The c.710A>T (p.Q237L) alteration is located in exon 7 (coding exon 7) of the PMS2 gene. This alteration results from a A to T substitution at nucleotide position 710, causing the glutamine (Q) at amino acid position 237 to be replaced by a leucine (L). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Dec 13, 2023	This missense variant replaces glutamine with leucine at codon 237 of the PMS2 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 PMS2-related disorders in the literature. 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 glutamine, which is neutral and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 237 of the PMS2 protein (p.Gln237Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs587780061, gnomAD 0.009%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PMS2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 127795). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt PMS2 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. 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. -
