Genes affected

MSH2 (HGNC:7325): (mutS homolog 2) This locus is frequently mutated in hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC). When cloned, it was discovered to be a human homolog of the E. coli mismatch repair gene mutS, consistent with the characteristic alterations in microsatellite sequences (RER+ phenotype) found in HNPCC. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -11 ACMG points.

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Aug 29, 2019	- -
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Jul 05, 2016	This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Benign:2

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Aug 27, 2014	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. -

The MSH2 p.Ala53= variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the Genesight-COGR, Cosmic, MutDB, UMD-LSDB, Insight Colon Cancer Gene Variant Database, Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database, Mismatch Repair Genes Variant Database, or Insight Hereditary Tumors Database,. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs780178752) “With Likely benign allele”, ClinVar (classified likely benign Ambry Genetics, Invitae, GeneDx, and Color Genomics Inc.), Clinvitae (3x), and in control databases in 1 of 228468 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000004 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). Breakdown of the observations by population include European Non-Finnish in 1 of 102020 chromosomes (freq: 0.00001), while not observed in the African, Other, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, European Finnish, and South Asian populations. The variant was also identified by our laboratory in 1 individual with endometrial and breast cancer, co-occurring with a pathogenic MSH6 variant (c.3938_3941dup, p.Gln1314HisfsX6), increasing the likelihood the variant does not have clinical significance. The p.Ala53= variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it does not result in a change of amino acid and is not located in a known consensus splice site. In addition, in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. -
