Description
The PMS2 p.Leu786Met variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the COGR, MutDB, Insight Colon Cancer Gene Variant, Zhejiang Colon Cancer, Mismatch Repair Genes Variant, and the Insight Hereditary Tumors databases. Furthermore, the variant was not identified in the NHLBI GO Exome Sequencing Project. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs576055272) as with other allele, in the ClinVar and Clinvitae databases as benign by Invitae and Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano; as likely benign by Ambry Genetics and Prevention Genetics; and as uncertain significance by GeneDx. In addition, the variant was identified in the Cosmic database 1X as pathogenic in a lobular carcinoma and in the 1000 Genomes Project in 9 of 5000 chromosomes (frequency: 0.002). The variant was further identified in control databases in 287 of 244884 chromosomes (10 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.001 increasing the likelihood that this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). It was observed in the following populations: African in 1 of 15242 chromosomes (freq: 0.00007), Other in 1 of 5466 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002), Latino in 3 of 33562 chromosomes (freq: 0.00009), European Non-Finnish in 15 of 110756 chromosomes (freq: 0.0001), East Asian in 1 of 17174 chromosomes (freq: 0.00006), and South Asian in 266 of 30658 chromosomes (freq: 0.009); it was not observed in the Ashkenazi Jewish and European Finnish, populations. The p.Leu786 residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as likely benign.
