Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	RCV000774572	SCV000908312	uncertain significance	Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome	2022-06-13	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	This missense variant replaces asparagine with tyrosine at codon 553 of the MSH2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has been identified in 2/251154 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
Ambry Genetics	RCV000774572	SCV001173054	uncertain significance	Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome	2024-03-06	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	The p.N553Y variant (also known as c.1657A>T), located in coding exon 10 of the MSH2 gene, results from an A to T substitution at nucleotide position 1657. The asparagine at codon 553 is replaced by tyrosine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. In a study of whole-exome sequencing in patients with features of Cowden syndrome (CS) or Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome (BRRS) and negative PTEN testing, this alteration was identified in 0/87 patients with CS or BRRS and 1/3476 patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) (Yehia L et al. PLoS Genet, 2018 04;14:e1007352). In a massively parallel cell-based functional assay testing susceptibility to a DNA damaging agent, 6-thioguanine (6-TG), this variant was reported to be functionally neutral (Jia X et al. Am J Hum Genet, 2021 01;108:163-175). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
