Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 0 ACMG points: 8P and 8B. PM1PM2PP3_StrongBP6_Very_Strong
The NM_000251.3(MSH2):c.2178G>A(p.Met726Ile) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely benign (★★). Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Likely benign in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. M726L) has been classified as Uncertain significance.
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]
Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 0 ACMG points.
PM1
In a hotspot region, there are 3 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 6 benign, 16 uncertain in NM_000251.3
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP3
MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.972
BP6
Variant 2-47476539-G-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr2-47476539-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_benign]. Clinvar id is 408484.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing
This variant is considered likely benign. This variant is strongly associated with less severe personal and family histories of cancer, typical for individuals without pathogenic variants in this gene [PMID: 27363726]. -
