Ambry Genetics RCV002433580 SCV002747856 uncertain significance Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2018-11-09 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.E914* variant (also known as c.2740G>T), located in coding exon 16 of the MSH2 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 2740. This changes the amino acid from a glutamic acid to a stop codon within coding exon 16. This alteration occurs in the last coding exon of the MSH2 gene, so while it is truncating, the mRNA may escape nonsense mediated decay (NMD). Premature termination codons located either in the last exon or within 50-55 nucleotides upstream of the 3'-most exon-exon junction usually fail to elicit NMD (Maquat LE et al. Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell Biol. 2004 Feb;5(2):89-99). This alteration was previously seen in a Swiss family meeting Amsterdam II criteria. The proband's tumor exhibited microsatellite instability and absence of MSH2 and MSH6 on IHC (Kovac M et al. Fam. Cancer 2011 Sep;10(3):605-16). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
