Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000535.7(PMS2):c.686_687delCT(p.Ser229CysfsTer19) variant causes a frameshift change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.
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]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser229Cysfs*19) 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 (rs746766787, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Lynch syndrome-related cancer and homozygous in a patient with constitutional mismatch repair deficiency and constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (PMID: 25430799, 26544533). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 411063). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.686_687delCT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 6 of the PMS2 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 686 to 687, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.S229Cfs*19). This alteration was identified in an individual diagnosed with Lynch syndrome (Goldberg Y et al. Clin Genet, 2015 Jun;87:549-53). This alteration was also identified as homozygous in an individual diagnosed with neurofibromatosis type 1-like features, anaplastic astrocytoma and colon polyps (Baris HN et al. Pediatr Blood Cancer, 2016 Mar;63:418-27). 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. -
