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]

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

This missense variant replaces asparagine with histidine at codon 477 of the MSH2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). This variant does not impact MSH2 function in a 6-thioguanine sensitivity assay in haploid human cells (internally defined LOF score threshold <= -1.32, PMID: 33357406). In a large breast cancer case-control study, this variant has been reported in 3/60466 cases and 2/53461 unaffected controls (PMID: 33471991). This variant has been identified in 3/282688 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. -

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

The c.1429A>C (p.N477H) alteration is located in exon 9 (coding exon 9) of the MSH2 gene. This alteration results from a A to C substitution at nucleotide position 1429, causing the asparagine (N) at amino acid position 477 to be replaced by a histidine (H). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Variant summary: MSH2 c.1429A>C (p.Asn477His) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the DNA-binding domain of DNA mismatch repair MUTS family (IPR007696) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 251294 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1429A>C has been reported in the literature in one individual affected with Colon Cancer, without strong evidence for causality (Shirts_ 2016). These report(s) 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. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 26845104). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 140888). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

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

In the published literature, this variant has been reported in an individual with family history of colon cancer (PMID: 26845104 (2016)), in individuals with breast cancer, and in unaffected controls (PMDI: 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/MSH2)). A screening assay based on cell survival in response to 6-thioguanine treatment indicates this variant has a neutral effect on DNA mismatch repair function (PMID: 33357406 (2021)), however, further studies assessing the variant's full functional impact are needed. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000011 (3/282688 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
