Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000535.7(PMS2):c.1591G>T(p.Glu531Ter) variant causes a stop gained change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000657 in 152,176 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. E531E) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.
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]
Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.
PVS1
?
PVS1 - null variant (nonsense, frameshift, canonical ±1 or 2 splice sites, initiation codon, single or multiexon deletion) in a gene where LOF is a known mechanism of disease
Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
PM2
?
PM2 - Absent from controls (or at extremely low frequency if recessive) in Exome Sequencing Project, 1000 Genomes Project, or Exome Aggregation Consortium
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP5
?
PP5 - Reputable source recently reports variant as pathogenic, but the evidence is not available to the laboratory to perform an independent evaluation
Variant 7-5987174-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-5987174-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 237890.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. While this particular variant has not been reported in the literature, truncating variants in PMS2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 21376568, 24362816). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal at codon 531 (p.Glu531*) of the PMS2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
The p.E531* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1591G>T), located in coding exon 11 of the PMS2 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 1591. This changes the amino acid from a glutamic acid to a stop codon within coding exon 11. 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. -
