Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000535.7(PMS2):c.7C>T(p.Arg3*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000137 in 1,460,206 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. R3R) has been classified as Likely benign.

Observed in individual(s) with Lynch-associated cancers and tumor studies consistent with pathogenic variants in this gene (PMID: 31992580); Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss of function is a known mechanism of disease; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Truncating variants in this gene are considered pathogenic by a well-established clinical consortium and/or database; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 37881859, 31992580, 29345684) -
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Pathogenic:1
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg3*) 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 not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PMS2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 234658). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
The p.R3* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.7C>T), located in coding exon 1 of the PMS2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 7. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 1. This alteration was reported in a cohort of women undergoing multigene panel testing for hereditary cancer risk (Roberts ME et al. Genet Med, 2018 10;20:1167-1174). In another report, this alteration was identified in a proband with colorectal cancer diagnosed at age 44 that demonstrated high microsatellite instability (MSI-H) and loss of MLH1 protein expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC); however, PMS2 protein expression was reported to be non-interpretable (Wang Q et al. J Med Genet, 2020 07;57:487-499). This alteration was also identified in conjunction with a somatic pathogenic PMS2 variant in a proband whose MSI-H Lynch syndrome-associated tumor demonstrated isolated loss of PMS2 protein expression on IHC (Ambry internal data). 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. -
