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]

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina	Oct 26, 2018	This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to determine this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -

Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Jun 20, 2016	Variant summary: The MSH2 c.471C>A (p.Gly157Gly) variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide, resulting in a synonymous change. One in silico tool predicts a damaging outcome for this variant. 5/5 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. This variant was found in 132/121410 control chromosomes, predominantly observed in the East Asian subpopulation at a frequency of 0.0146753 (127/8654). This frequency is about 26 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic MSH2 variant (0.0005683), suggesting this is likely a benign polymorphism found primarily in the populations of East Asian origin. This variant has been reported in multiple affected individuals and all are East Asians. The studies reporting this variant mostly detected variant in controls with higher or comparable MAF as in case cohorts. In addition, variant was detected to co-occur with a likely disease variant (c.-80insA) that can explain the disease phenotype, further supporting the benign classification of this variant. Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as benign/likely benign. Taken together, this variant is classified as benign. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Benign:2

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Jul 16, 2014	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. -

The MSH2 p.Gly157= variant was identified in 8 of 1390 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.006) from individuals or families with Lynch syndrome and or sporadic CRC (Nomura 2000, Shin 2004, Chang 2016, Hu 2013). The variant was also identified in the following databases: dbSNP (ID: rs61756463) as “With Likely benign allele”, ClinVar (3x, as likely benign by InSight, Ambry Genetic, University of Washington and 2x, as benign by GeneDx, Invitae with expert panel review), Clinvitae (3x, as benign and likely benign), Insight Colon Cancer Gene Variant Database (4x, as class 2 ), Mismatch Repair Genes Variant Database, Insight Hereditary Tumors Database (4x, as class 2). The variant was not identified in Cosmic, MutDB, UMD-LSDB and Zhejiang Colon Cancer Databases. The variant was identified in control databases in 270 of 277200 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000974 in the following populations: other in 6 of 6468 chromosomes (freq. 0.0009), Latino in 1 of 34420 chromosomes (freq. 0.00003), European in 1 of 126700 chromosomes (freq. 0.000008), East Asian in 253 of 18862 chromosomes (freq. 0.013), and South Asian in 9 of 30786 chromosomes (freq. 0.0003), increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Consortium Feb 27, 2017). The c.471C>A is reported as polymorphism in the MSH2 gene and showed no significant association with Lynch syndrome, suspected lynch syndrome, or early-onset CRC patients in Korean cohort (Shin 2004).The p.Gly157= variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it does not result in a change of amino acid and is not located in a known consensus splice site. In addition, 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 although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. -
