Description
The PMS2 p.Arg211Gln variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the COGR, Cosmic, MutDB, Zhejiang University Database, or the Mismatch Repair Genes Variant Database. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs587781934) as “With Uncertain significance allele”, in ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by Ambry Genetics, GeneDx, Invitae, Counsyl, Color Genomics), Clinvitae, and the Insight Hereditary Tumors Database (effect unknown). The variant was identified in control databases in 12 of 277218 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00004 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was identified in the following populations: African in 1 of 24024 chromosomes (freq: 0.00004), European in 11 of 126724 chromosomes (freq: 0.0001), while the variant was not observed in the Other, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, Finnish, and South Asian populations. The p.Arg211 residue is conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. 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 uncertain significance.
