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]

The p.R524H variant (also known as c.1571G>A), located in coding exon 10 of the MSH2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1571. The arginine at codon 524 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. In one study, this variant was detected in 1/165 colorectal cancer and/or polyposis patients and was not identified in 2512 control individuals from a healthy population database (Rosenthal EA et al. Hum. Genet., 2018 Oct;137:795-806). In another study, this variant was reported in 2/60,466 breast cancer cases and in 3/53,461 controls (Dorling et al. N Engl J Med. 2021 02;384:428-439). This alteration was also detected in a patient with prostate cancer (Paulo P et al. PLoS Genet., 2018 04;14:e1007355). In a massively parallel cell-based functional assay testing susceptibility to a DNA damaging agent, 6-thioguanine (6-TG), this variant was reported to be functionally neutral (Jia X et al. Am J Hum Genet, 2021 01;108:163-175). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

The missense variant NM_000251.3(MSH2):c.1571G>A (p.Arg524His) causes a change at the same amino acid residue as a previously established pathogenic variant. There is a small physicochemical difference between arginine and histidine, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues share similar properties. The p.Arg524His missense variant is predicted to be damaging by both SIFT and PolyPhen2. The arginine residue at codon 524 of MSH2 is conserved in all mammalian species. The nucleotide c.1571 in MSH2 is predicted conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Uncertain Significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

This missense variant replaces arginine with histidine at codon 524 of the MSH2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). This variant has intermediate MSH2 function in a 6-thioguanine sensitivity assay in haploid human cells (internally defined LOF score threshold -1.32 < LOF score < 0.88, PMID: 33357406). This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with MSH2-related disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 3/282770 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). A different variant affecting the same codon, c.1571G>C (p.Arg524Pro), is considered to be disease-causing (ClinVar variation ID: 1759), suggesting that this position is important for the protein function. The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). This variant has intermediate MSH2 function in a 6-thioguanine sensitivity assay in haploid human cells (internally defined LOF score threshold -1.32 < LOF score < 0.88, PMID: 33357406). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature.

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

This variant is denoted MSH2 c.1571G>A at the cDNA level, p.Arg524His (R524H) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Arginine to a Histidine (CGT>CAT). This variant has been observed in at least one individual being evaluated for cancer predisposition (Cheng 2017). MSH2 Arg524His was not observed at a significant allele frequency in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). This variant is located in the clamp domain as well as the region of interaction with MSH6 and MSH3 (Guerrette 1998, Lutzen 2008, Kansikas 2011). In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether MSH2 Arg524His is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -
