Description
The PMS2 p.Thr716= variant was not identified in the literature. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs748404138) as "With Likely benign allele", ClinVar (classified as likely benign by Ambry Genetics and GeneDx).The variant was identified in control databases in 6 of 263760 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00002 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: Other in 1 of 6242 chromosomes (freq: 0.00016), European Non-Finnish in 3 of 119500 chromosomes (freq: 0.000025), East Asian in 1 of 18288 chromosomes (freq: 0.000055), and South Asian in 1 of 29828 chromosomes (freq: 0.000034), while the variant was not observed in the African, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, or Finnish populations. The PMS2 c.2148C>T variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it does not result in a change of amino acid and is not located in a known consensus splice site. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In addition, the nucleotide at position c.2148 is not highly conserved across mammalian species. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign.
