Invitae RCV000203674 SCV000259892 pathogenic Lynch syndrome 2016-11-15 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant is a gross deletion of the genomic region encompassing exons 6-8 of the PMS2 gene. This leads to an in-frame deletion, preserving the integrity of the reading frame. Deletions of exons 6-8 have been reported in the literature in an individual with a large colonic adenoma (PMID: 20205264), as well as in an individual affected with constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (CMMRD) syndrome, co-occurring with a second pathogenic PMS2 variant (PMID: 24440087). In both individuals, tumor analysis showed absence of PMS2 protein expression by immunohistochemical staining. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 219811). This in-frame deletion is expected to remove amino acid residues Glu180-Lys301 from the PMS2 protein and result in the partial disruption of the ATPase domain, which is important for the mismatch repair activity (PMID: 11574484, 11897781). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
