Description
The p.G692R variant (also known as c.2074G>A), located in coding exon 13 of the MSH2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2074. The glycine at codon 692 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. A similar mutation, c.2074G>C, which leads to the same amino acid change, p.G692R, has been reported in a Portuguese family meeting Amsterdam I criteria (Isidro G et al. Hum Mut. 2000 Jan;15(1):116). The glycine at position 692 is in a well conserved region, close to the ATP binding domain and functional analysis of the yeast equivalent demonstrated 5% steady-state levels of wildtype MSH2 and a loss of interaction with all MSH2 partners. A variant was considered to have a significant defect if levels were <40% of wildtype MSH2 (Gammie AE et al. Genetics. 2007 Oct;177(2): 707-21). In addition, the c.2074G>C alteration has been classified as a likely pathogenic variant by multifactorial analysis, which integrates the following lines of evidence to produce a quantitative likelihood of pathogenicity: in silico prediction models, segregation with disease, clinical phenotype including tumor characteristics, mutation co-occurrence, and functional assay results (Thompson B et al. Nat Genet. 2014 Feb;46(2):107-15; available at [www.insight-group.org/variants/classifications/]). Furthermore, all internal cases with the c.2074G>C mutation meet Bethesda or Amsterdam criteria and cases for which tumor studies were available showed concordance (Ambry Internal Data). The c.2074G>A 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. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by MAPP-MMR in silico analyses (Chao E et al. Hum Mutat. 2008 Jun;29(6):852-60). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as a pathogenic mutation.
