ClinVar

Description

The MSH2 p.Gly692Glu variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the dbSNP, NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (Exome Variant Server), Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) database, HGMD, COSMIC, “Mismatch Repair Genes Variant Database”, “MMR Gene Unclassified Variants Database”, InSiGHT Colon Cancer Gene Variant Database, “Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database”, the ClinVar database and GeneInsight VariantWire database. The variant was only identified in MutDB and UMD (1X as a likely pathogenic variant). The p.Gly692 residue is conserved across mammals and other organisms, and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) suggest that the p.Gly692 variant may impact the protein. However, this information is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 2 of 5 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance.
