Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -4 ACMG points: 0P and 4B. BP4_Strong
The NM_000535.7(PMS2):c.*3G>T variant causes a 3 prime UTR change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar 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]

To the best of our knowledge, the variant has not been reported in the published literature. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00056 (9/16132 chromosomes in East Asian subpopulation, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is higher than would generally be expected for pathogenic variants in this gene. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

The c.*3G>T variant is located in the 3' untranslated region (3’ UTR) of the PMS2 gene. This variant results from a G to T substitution 3 nucleotides downstream of the last translated codon. This nucleotide position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
