Ambry Genetics | RCV002416736 | SCV002676960 | uncertain significance | Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome | 2022-06-02 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The c.792+2T>C intronic variant results from a T to C substitution two nucleotides after coding exon 4 in the MSH3 gene. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay; however, +2T>C alterations are capable of generating wild-type transcripts in some genomic contexts and should be interpreted with caution (Lin JH et al. Hum Mutat. 2019 10;40:1856-1873). Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. |

RCV005097173 | SCV005730742 | likely pathogenic | not provided | 2024-02-11 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 4 of the MSH3 gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and likely results in a shortened protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MSH3-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1761232). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 4, but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame (Invitae). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. |
