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]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The PMS2 c.241G>T (p.Glu81Ter) nonsense variant results in the loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This variant has been identified in an individual with colorectal cancer, whose tumor cells also lacked PMS2 protein expression (PMID: 27589204). Additionally, the p.Glu81Ter variant was reported in a compound heterozygous state in two individuals with constitutional mismatch repair deficiency and a family history of cancer (PMID: 36647049). This variant is not observed at a significant frequency in version 2.1.1 or version 3.1.2 of the Genome Aggregation Database. Based on the available evidence, the c.241G>T (p.Glu81Ter) variant is classified as pathogenic for Lynch syndrome. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Ambry Genetics

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.241G>T (p.E81*) alteration, located in exon 3 (coding exon 3) of the PMS2 gene, consists of a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 241. This changes the amino acid from a glutamic acid (E) to a stop codon at amino acid position 81. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay Based on data from gnomAD, the T allele has an overall frequency of <0.001% (1/250820) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.003% (1/34578) of Latino alleles. This mutation has been identified in a Japanese colorectal cancer cohort (Sugano, 2016). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 3 of the PMS2 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been observed in an individual affected with colorectal cancer demonstrating high microsatellite instability (PMID: 27589204). This variant has also been reported in the compound heterozygous state in two unrelated individuals affected with constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (PMID: 36647049). This variant has been identified in 1/250820 chromosomes 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. -

Hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer Pathogenic:1

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: PMS2 c.241G>T (p.Glu81X) 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 allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 250820 control chromosomes, however due to the PMS2 pseudogene these results should be interpreted with caution (gnomAD). c.241G>T has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with colorectal cancer with a MSI-H tumor lacking PMS2 expression by IHC, and in the compound heterozygous state in two unrelated individuals affected with constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (CMMRD) wherein glioblastoma was the initial CMMRD-associated malignancy and the variant was confirmed to be in trans with large PMS2 deletions (Sugano_2016, Onishi_2023). These data indicate that the variant is very likely associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Six submitters have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and all classified the variant as either pathogenic (n=4) or likely pathogenic (n=2). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu81*) 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 present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with colorectal cancer (PMID: 27589204). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 439243). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
