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]

Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Arg341GlyfsX15 variant in PMS2 has been identified in at least 1 individual with PMS2-associated cancer and segregated with the disease in 2 affected family members (one with endometrial cancer and one with colon polyps; Worthley 2005). This variant was absent from large population studies. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 341 and leads to a premature termination codon 15 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of function of the PMS2 gene is an established disease mechanism in Lynch syndrome. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for Lynch syndrome in an autosomal dominant manner based upon predicted impact to the protein.

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.1021delA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the PMS2 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 1021, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.R341Gfs*15). This mutation has been reported in multiple individuals with early onset colon cancer and was found to segregate with disease in a family meeting Amsterdam II criteria (Worthley DL et al. Gastroenterology. 2005 May;128:1431-6; Senter L et al. Gastroenterology. 2008 Aug;135:419-28). This mutation was also detected in an individual with a history of prostate cancer at age 55 and colorectal cancer of the splenic flexure at 57. The authors referred to this alteration as c.1018delA (Truninger K et al. Gastroenterology. 2005 May;128:1160-71). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -

This variant deletes 1 nucleotide in exon 10 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 colorectal cancer (PMID: 15887124, 18602922) and sebaceous neoplasms (PMID: 29333623). 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. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: PMS2 c.1021delA (p.Arg341GlyfsX15) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 250990 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1021delA has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer and was shown to segregate with disease in at least 1 family (e.g. Truninger_2005, Worthley_2006, Senter_2008, Schon_2018). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Five ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg341Glyfs*15) 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 clinical features of Lynch syndrome (PMID: 15887099, 15887124, 18602922). This variant is also known as c.1018delA. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 9240). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
