Invitae | RCV000531214 | SCV000624589 | pathogenic | Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms | 2017-07-10 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant is a gross deletion of the genomic region encompassing exon 15 of the PMS2 gene. The 5' boundary is likely confined to intron 14. The 3' end of this event is unknown as it extends through the termination codon beyond the assayed region for this gene and may encompass additional genes. While this deletion is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to create a truncated PMS2 protein. Loss-of-function variants in PMS2 are known to be pathogenic. Deletion of exon 15 of the PMS2 gene has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Lynch syndrome and constitutional mismatch repair deficiency syndrome (PMID: 2440087, 21618646). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. |
