Description

The c.2680dupA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 16 of the MSH2 gene, results from a duplication of one nucleotide at position c.2680 resulting in a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.M894Nfs*5). This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of the MSH2 gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and only impacts the last 41 amino acids of the protein. However, premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature and a significant portion of the protein is affected (Ambry internal data). This variant has been detected in multiple individuals diagnosed with colorectal cancer that demonstrated either high microsatellite instability (MSI-H) or absent MSH2 and/or MSH6 staining by immunohistochemistry (IHC) (Ambry internal data; Casey G et al. JAMA 2005 Feb; 293(7):799-809). As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.

Description

This variant inserts 1 nucleotide in exon 16 of the MSH2 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal in the last coding exon. This variant is predicted to escape nonsense-mediated decay and be expressed as a truncated protein. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with endometrial, ovarian, and colorectal cancer (PMID: 15713769, 30077346, 30322717, PMID: 35430768; ClinVar SCV000273149.7) and in families with suspected Lynch syndrome (PMID: 27601186). A couple of the individuals affected with colorectal cancer had tumors with either loss of MSH2 and MSH6 protein via immunohistochemistry and/or high microsatellite instability (PMID: 15713769; ClinVar SCV000273149.7). This variant has been identified in 3/251144 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of MSH2 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic.
