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]

Variant summary: The MSH2 c.811_814delTCTG (p.Ser271Argfs) variant results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncated or absent MSH2 protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. This variant is absent in 121074 control chromosomes. Multiple publications have cited the variant in affected individuals and observed loss of MSH2 protein expression. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

The MSH2 c.811_814del; p.Ser271fs variant (also known as 808delGTCT) is reported in the medical literature in at least two individuals that fulfilled diagnostic criteria for HNPCC (Ewald 2007, Farrington 1998, Lagerstedt 2007, Liu 1995). The variant is described in the ClinVar database (Variation ID: 91222), in the dbSNP variant database (rs587779185), but is not listed in the general population-based databases (Exome Variant Server, Genome Aggregation Database). The variant deletes four nucleotides, creates a frameshift and is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to non-sense mediated decay. Considering available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. References Ewald J et al.

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

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser271Argfs*2) in the MSH2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MSH2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15849733, 24362816). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Lynch syndrome-related cancers (PMID: 7585065, 9718327, 15235034, 17312306, 27601186). This variant is also known as 811del4 and 808_811delCTGT. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 91222). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.811_814delTCTG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 5 of the MSH2 gene, results from a deletion of 4 nucleotides between nucleotide positions 811 and 814, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.S271Rfs*2). This mutation has been detected in individuals meeting Amsterdam criteria and/or with Lynch syndrome tumors displaying microsatellite instability and loss of MSH2 protein expression (Liu B et al. Nat. Med. 1995 Apr;1(4):348-52; Roupret M et al. J. Med. Genet. 2004 Jul;41(7):e91; Lagerstedt Robinson et al. J. Natl. Cancer Inst. 2007 Feb;99(4):291-9; Ewald J et al. Br. J. Surg. 2007 Aug;94(8):1020-7). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 811del4, 808_811delCTGT, and 808delGTCT in published literature. 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. -

The MSH2 p.Ser271Argfs*2 variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the dbSNP database. The variant was identified in ClinVar (classified as pathogenic by Invitae, Counyl, Ambry Genetics and two other submitters), and in UMD-LSDB (2x as causal). The variant was not identified in the following control databases: the Exome Aggregation Consortium (August 8th 2016), or the Genome Aggregation Database (Feb 27, 2017). The c.811_814del variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 271 and leads to a premature stop codon at position 272. This alteration is then predicted to result in a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. Loss of function variants of the MSH2 gene are an established mechanism of disease in MSH2 associated cancers 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. -
