Genes affected

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 PMS2 c.1874delT; p.Leu625Ter variant (rs786203073) has been reported in individuals with colorectal cancer (Goodenberger 2016, Rosty 2016). This variant is reported as pathogenic by multiple laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID: 186596) and is seen in the general population at a low overall frequency of 0.0004% (1/246252 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. This variant induces an early termination codon and is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on the above information, this variant is considered pathogenic. References: Goodenberger M et al. PMS2 monoallelic mutation carriers: the known unknown. Genet Med. 2016 Jan; 18(1): 13–19.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant deletes 1 nucleotide in exon 11 of the PMS2 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with Lynch syndrome and Lynch syndrome-associated disease (PMID: 25856668, 26895986, 27978560). Tumor data from affected individuals has demonstrated deficient mismatch repair and loss of PMS2 protein via immunohistochemistry (PMID: 25856668, 27978560). This variant has been identified in 1/251448 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD).

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Leu625X variant in PMS2 has been reported in at least 1 individual with a Lynch syndrome-associated cancer (Rosty 2016, Goodenberger 2016) and has also be en reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 186596). It was also identified in 1/111710 of European chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD; http://gnom ad.broadinstitute.org). This nonsense variant is a result of a deletion of 1 bas e at position 1874, which creates a premature termination codon at amino acid po sition 625. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent p rotein. Heterozygous loss of function of function of the PMS2 gene is an establ ished disease mechanism in Lynch syndrome. In summary, this variant meets criter ia to be classified as pathogenic for Lynch syndrome in an autosomal dominant ma nner based upon its absence from controls and predicted impact to the protein an d low frequency in controls. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.1874delT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 11 of the PMS2 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 1874, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.L625*). This mutation has been detected in multiple individuals with Lynch syndrome-associated cancers and several with tumors showing loss of PMS2 staining on IHC (Goodenberger ML et al. Genet Med, 2016 Jan;18:13-9; Rosty C et al. BMJ Open, 2016 Feb;6:e010293; Pearlman R et al. JAMA Oncol, 2017 Apr;3:464-471; Espenschied CR et al. J Clin Oncol, 2017 Aug;35:2568-2575; Ranola JMO et al. Fam Cancer, 2019 01;18:67-73; Ambry internal data). 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. -

The PMS2 c.1874delT variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Leu625*). This variant has been reported in individuals with colorectal cancer (Table S1, Goodenberger et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 25856668; Supplementary Table 2, Rosty et al. 2016.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: PMS2 c.1874delT (p.Leu625X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251448 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The c.1874delT variant has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Lynch Syndrome, though one 66 year old individual carrying the variant was unaffected (Goodenberger_2016), suggesting the possibility of reduced penetrance or later onset. However, these data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Seven clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and all laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu625*) 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 (rs786203073, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with colorectal cancer (PMID: 25856668, 26895986). Invitae Evidence Modeling of clinical and family history, age, sex, and reported ancestry of multiple individuals with this PMS2 variant has been performed. This variant is expected to be pathogenic with a positive predictive value of at least 99%. This is a validated machine learning model that incorporates the clinical features of 1,370,736 individuals referred to our laboratory for PMS2 testing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 186596). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
