Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Moderate
The NM_000251.3(MSH2):c.819_821delAATinsTG(p.Ile274AlafsTer4) variant causes a frameshift, missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.
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]

This sequence change deletes 3 nucleotide and inserts 2 nucleotides in exon 5 of the MSH2 mRNA (c.819_821delAATinsTG), causing a frameshift at codon 274. This creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ile274Metfs*10) and is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. While this particular variant has not been reported in the literature, truncating variants in MSH2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15849733, 24362816). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
