Invitae	RCV000815481	SCV000955937	uncertain significance	Hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer	2018-12-24	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	This sequence change replaces asparagine with aspartic acid at codon 596 of the PMS2 protein (p.Asn596Asp). The asparagine residue is weakly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between asparagine and aspartic acid. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with PMS2-related conditions. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The aspartic acid amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, suggesting that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. These predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
