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]

Variant summary: MSH2 c.2576_2584delAATCGCAAG (p.Glu859_Gln861del) results in an in-frame deletion that is predicted to remove three amino acids from helix-turn-helix domain in the encoded MSH2 protein. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 251448 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.2576_2584delAATCGCAAG has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with colon cancer and endometrial carcinoma (Plevova_2004, Casey_2005, Poynter_2008, Ring_2016). However, immunohistochemical analysis showed that there is no effect on expression of MLH1, MSH2 and MSH6 proteins (Plevova_2004, Casey_2005, Poynter_2008). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Lynch Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Nine ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as uncertain significance (7x) and likely benign (2x). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant results in the in-frame deletion of three amino acids from the MSH2 protein, and has been reported in the published literature in individuals with endometrial cancer (PMID: 27443514 (2016)), and colorectal cancer in which the tumors were immunohistochemically positive for MSH2 expression (PMIDs: 18990764 (2008), 15713769 (2005), 15254659 (2004)). In a family study, this variant was characterized as being likely benign based on multifactorial analysis, and was identified in a cancer-free 72 year-old individual as well as in family members with colon polyps and pancreatic cancer (PMID: 30374176 (2019)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000039 (5/129166 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant causes an in-frame deletion of three amino acids (Glu859-Gln861) in exon 15 of the MSH2 protein. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has been reported in at least one individual each affected with endometrial and early onset colorectal cancer, in the latter case the tumor sample showed the presence of MSH2 by immunohistochemistry (PMID: 15713769, 18990764, 27443514). A multifactorial analysis based on family study data has reported this variant as likely benign due in part to cosegregation likelihood ratio of 0.2554 from one observed family (PMID: 30374176). This variant has been identified in 6/282854 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. -

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: research

The MSH2 gene variant designated as NM_000251.2:c.2576_2584delAATCGCAAG (p.E859_Q861del) is classified as likely benign. Cosegregation analysis of one observed family was performed using analyze.myvariant.org (Rañola et al, 2018, PMID:28965303) and shows a likelihood ratio of 0.256:1 favoring a benign classification (Thompson et al., 2003, PMID:2900794). Data from a large reference laboratory cohort indicates that this variant was identified in many more individuals without MSH2 associated cancers than individuals affected with MSH2 associated cancers. In addition, the genomic position of this variant is not highly conserved, which also supports benign classification. Bayesian analysis integrating all of this data (Tavtigian et al, 2018, PMID:29300386) gives less than 1% probability of pathogenicity, which is consistent with a classification of likely benign. This variant is not predicted to alter MSH2 function or cause an increased risk of Lynch syndrome associated cancers. A modest (less than 2 fold) increase in cancer risk due to this variant cannot be entirely excluded. This analysis was performed in conjunction with the family studies project as part of the University of Washington Find My Variant Study. -
