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]

The PMS2 c.1559C>T (p.Ala520Val) variant has been reported in the published literature in affected individuals with suspected Lynch syndrome (PMID: 27601186 (2016)), however, the variant was noted to co-occur with a clearly pathogenic variant in a mismatch repair gene (PMIDs: 31433215 (2019), 26232782 (2015), and 25980754 (2015)). Additionally, a functional study showed inconclusive results regarding the variant's impact on protein function (PMID: 31433215 (2019)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00028 (10/35434 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is deleterious or benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Variant summary: PMS2 c.1559C>T (p.Ala520Val) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.7e-05 in 1613986 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00042 within the Latino subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within Latino control individuals in the gnomAD v4.0.0 database is approximately 3.7 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in PMS2 causing Lynch Syndrome phenotype (0.00011), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of Latino origin. c.1559C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Lynch syndrome-associated cancers or with suspected Lynch Syndrome (e.g., Yurgelun_2015, Nomura_2015, Lagerstedt-Robinson_2016, Balogh_2006, Okkels_2019, Li_2020), frequently along with PMS2 c.1556A>G (p.Y519C; Yurgelun_2015, Nomura_2015, Okkels_2019). However, the variant was found not to segregate with disease in at least one family (e.g., Okkels_2019) and was also classified as a benign/likely benign polymorphism in several publications (e.g., Okkels_2019, Li_2020, Balogh_2006). These reports are not suggestive that the variant is associated with Lynch Syndrome. Additionally, co-occurrences with other pathogenic variants have been reported (MSH2 c.2210+1G>A (Yurgelun_2015); PMS2 c.1492_1502del11 (p.Ser498GlyfsX3; Nomura_2015); MLH1 c.677+3A>G (Okkels_2019); MLH1 c.(1731+1_1732-1)_(*194_?)del, E16-19del (Okkels_2019)), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, suggesting the variant does not disrupt protein function, however no data was shown (e.g., Okkels_2019). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 22290698, 17016615, 27601186, 31391288, 26232782, 31433215, 25980754). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 185185). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

The missense variant c.1559C>T (p.Ala520Val) in PMS2 gene has been reported in the literature in several affected individuals (Yurgelun et.al.,2015). This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Uncertain Significance. The p.Ala520Val variant is reported with allele frequency of 0.007076% in gnomAD exomes and novel in gnomAD Exomes and 1000 Genomes. The amino acid Ala at position 520 is changed to a Val changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. The amino acid change p.Ala520Val in PMS2 is predicted as conserved by PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Uncertain Significance -
