Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -6 ACMG points: 0P and 6B. BP4_StrongBP6BP7
The NM_000535.7(PMS2):c.2445G>A(p.Ser815=) variant causes a splice region, synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. S815S) has been classified as Uncertain significance.
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 frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00037 (11/30100 chromosomes in Latino/Admixed American subpopulation, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is higher than would generally be expected for pathogenic variants in this gene. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in individuals with breast, ovarian or prostate cancer (PMID: 34371384 (2021)). Analysis of this variant using software algorithms for the prediction of the effect of nucleotide changes on splicing yielded predictions that this variant may affect proper PMS2 mRNA splicing . Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

This synonymous variant is located at the last nucleotide of exon 14 of the PMS2 gene. To our knowledge, RNA studies have not been reported for this variant. Splice site prediction tools are inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on RNA splicing. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has been identified in 25/224802 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

Variant summary: PMS2 c.2445G>A (p.Ser815Ser) alters a conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. 4/4 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00011 in 194842 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00038 within the Latino subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within Latino control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 5 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in PMS2 causing Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer phenotype (7.1e-05), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of Latino origin. However, this data should be interpreted with caution as the sequencing technology utilized cannot rule out possible pseudogene interference due to sequence overlap in this region. To our knowledge, c.2445G>A has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer and no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Eight clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as VUS (n=6) and benign/likely benign (n=2). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
