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]

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided	clinical testing	Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System	-	The PMS2 p.Asp249Valfs*2 variant was identified in 3 of 3382 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0009) from individuals or families with Lynch syndrome (Talseth-Palmer 2016, van der Klift 2016, Yurgelun 2015). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs587782710) as “With Pathogenic allele”, ClinVar and Clinvitae (as pathogenic by Ambry Genetics and Invitae), and Insight Hereditary Tumors Database (4x). The variant was not identified in COGR, Cosmic, MutDB, Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database, or the Mismatch Repair Genes Variant Database. The variant was not identified in the following control databases: the 1000 Genomes Project, the NHLBI GO Exome Sequencing Project, the Exome Aggregation Consortium (August 8th 2016), or the Genome Aggregation Database (Feb 27, 2017). The c.746_753del variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 249 and leads to a premature stop codon at position 250. This alteration is then predicted to result in a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. Loss of function variants of the PMS2 gene are an established mechanism of disease in Lynch syndrome and is the type of variant expected to cause the disorder. In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:3

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Mar 20, 2014	The c.746_753del8 pathogenic mutation located in coding exon 7 of the PMS2 gene, results from a deletion of 8 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 746 to 753, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon. This mutation has been reported in a patient with colorectal cancer diagnosed at age 38 (Talseth-Palmer BA et al. Hered Cancer Clin Pract 2010; 8:5). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, since frameshifts are typically deleterious in nature, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation (ACMG Recommendations for Standards for Interpretation and Reporting of Sequence Variations. Revision 2007. Genet Med. 2008;10:294). -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Jun 25, 2021	The c.746_753delACTCCGTG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 7 of the PMS2 gene, results from a deletion of 8 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 746 to 753, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.D249Vfs*2). This mutation has been reported in multiple individuals with a personal and/or family history of HNPCC/Lynch syndrome-associated cancers (Talseth-Palmer BA et al. Hered Cancer Clin Pract, 2010 May;8:5; Yurgelun MB et al. Gastroenterology, 2015 Sep;149:604-13.e20; van der Klift HM et al. Hum Mutat, 2016 11;37:1162-1179; Espenschied CR et al. J Clin Oncol, 2017 Aug;35:2568-2575). This mutation has also been detected in conjunction with a second PMS2 mutation in patients with features consistent with constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (CMMRD) syndrome (Guerrini-Rousseau L et al. Neurooncol Adv Dec;1:vdz033; Ambry internal data). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Mar 21, 2022	This variant deletes 8 nucleotides in exon 7 of the PMS2 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with or suspected of having Lynch syndrome or constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (PMID: 20487569, 25980754, 27064304, 27435373, 32642664). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of PMS2 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asp249Valfs*2) in the PMS2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PMS2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 21376568, 24362816). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with colorectal cancer and suspected Lynch syndrome (PMID: 20487569, 25980754, 27064304, 27435373). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142778). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
