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]

MSH2 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.812

In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 231094). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 29335925). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces arginine with serine at codon 227 of the MSH2 protein (p.Arg227Ser). The arginine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between arginine and serine. -

The p.R227S variant (also known as c.681A>C), located in coding exon 4 of the MSH2 gene, results from an A to C substitution at nucleotide position 681. The arginine at codon 227 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This variant was not reported in population based cohorts in the following databases: Database of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (dbSNP), NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), and 1000 Genomes Project. In the ESP, this variant was not observed in 6503 samples (13006 alleles) with coverage at this position. To date, this alteration has been detected with an allele frequency of approximately 0.002% (greater than 42000 alleles tested) in our clinical cohort. This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be possibly damaging and deleterious by PolyPhen and SIFT in silico analyses, respectively. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of p.R227S remains unclear. -
