RCV000501150 | SCV000592528 | uncertain significance | Carcinoma of colon | no assertion criteria provided | clinical testing | The MSH2 p.Ser676Leu variant was identified in the literature on studies on variants of unknown significance using an in-cellulo procedure to predict pathogenicity. MMR assays to test humanized variant MMR proteins were performed. The variant MMR/MAPP score from these studies was 28.64 predicting the variant to be pathogenic (Score >4.55 are pathogenic) (Drost 2013). The variant was also identified in COSMIC (2x) as somatic variants in tumour samples in liver carcinomas. The variant was not identified in the dbSNP, NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, Exome Aggregation Consortium (14 March 2016), Clinvitae, “Mismatch Repair Genes Variant”, “MMR Gene Unclassified Variants ”, InSiGHT Colon Cancer Gene Variant (LOVD), Zhejiang Colon Cancer (LOVD), ClinVar, GeneInsight – COGR, and UMD databases. The p.Ser676 residue is conserved across mammals and other organisms, and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) suggest that the 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 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. |
