Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System RCV001356779 SCV001552039 pathogenic Carcinoma of colon no assertion criteria provided clinical testing The MSH2 p.Tyr815Phefs*3 variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the dbSNP, ClinVar, or UMD-LSDB databases. The variant was not identified in the following control databases: the Exome Aggregation Consortium (August 8th 2016), or the Genome Aggregation Database (Feb 27, 2017). The c.2444del variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 815 and leads to a premature stop codon at position 817. This alteration is then predicted to result in a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. Loss of function variants of the MSH2 gene are an established mechanism of disease in MSH2 associated cancers and is the type of variant expected to cause the disorder. In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic.
