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 Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-47416374-CT-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-47416374-CT-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 220006.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Frameshift 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 in large population cohorts (Lek 2016); Truncating variants in this gene are considered pathogenic by a well-established clinical consortium and/or database; Observed in individuals with breast cancer (Roberts 2018); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 29345684) -

Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The variant results in a shift of the reading frame, and is therefore predicted to result in the loss of a functional protein. Found in at least one symptomatic patient, and not found in general population data. -

Hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer Pathogenic:1

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: The variant, MSH2 c.1023delT (p.Val342LeufsX15) 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 (eg. c.1030C>T (p.Gln344X), c.1221_1222delCT(p.Tyr408fsX8), and c.1226_1227delAG (p.Gln409fsX7)). The variant was absent in 246218 control chromosomes (gnomAD). To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.1023delT in individuals affected with Lynch Syndrome and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Three ClinVar submissions from clinical diagnostic laboratories (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Pathogenic:1

Mar 20, 2024

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Val342Leufs*15) in the MSH2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MSH2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15849733, 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 MSH2-related conditions. Invitae’s Lynch syndrome clinical variant model, which takes into account the clinical and family history, age, sex, and reported ancestry of multiple individuals with this MSH2 variant, predicts that it is pathogenic with a positive predictive value of at least 99%. This is a validated machine learning model developed at Invitae that incorporates the clinical features of 1,370,736 individuals referred for testing at Invitae. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 220006). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1

Dec 27, 2023

Ambry Genetics

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.1023delT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 6 of the MSH2 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 1023, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.V342Lfs*15). 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. -
