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 2-47416360-CT-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-47416360-CT-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 245686.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano	Apr 06, 2017	- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Nov 03, 2015	This deletion of one nucleotide in MSH2 is denoted c.1008delT at the cDNA level and p.Gln337LysfsX20 (Q337KfsX20) at the protein level. The normal sequence, with the base that is deleted in braces, is ACCCC[T]CAAG. The deletion causes a frameshift, which changes a Glutamine to a Lysine at codon 337, and creates a premature stop codon at position 20 of the new reading frame. Although this variant has not, to our knowledge, been reported in the literature, it is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. We consider this variant to be pathogenic. -

Variant summary: MSH2 c.1008delT (p.Gln337LysfsX20) 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 was absent in 251456 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1008delT has been reported in the literature in an individual with personal history of colorectal, endometrial and renal cancer (Roberts_2018). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 245686). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln337Lysfs*20) 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 premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Lynch syndrome (PMID: 29345684). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
