GeneDx RCV000160603 SCV000211199 uncertain significance not provided 2014-05-19 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant is denoted MSH2 c.2171C>T at the cDNA level, p.Thr724Met (T724M) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Threonine to a Methionine (ACG>ATG). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. MSH2 Thr724Met was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Threonine and Methionine differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. MSH2 Thr724Met occurs at a position that is fully conserved across species and is predicted to be located within the ATPase functional domain (Lutzen 2008). In addition, in silico analyses predict that this variant is probably damaging to protein structure and function. Based on currently available information, it is unclear whether MSH2 Thr724Met is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance.
Ambry Genetics RCV000492028 SCV000580513 uncertain significance Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2023-04-04 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.T724M variant (also known as c.2171C>T), located in coding exon 13 of the MSH2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2171. The threonine at codon 724 is replaced by methionine, an amino acid with similar properties. 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.

All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health RCV003998478 SCV004832169 uncertain significance Lynch syndrome 2024-01-11 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This missense variant replaces threonine with methionine at codon 724 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 been reported in an individual affected with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (PMID: 31396961). This variant has been identified in 1/251482 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.
