PMID: 31874108

This missense variant replaces valine with isoleucine at codon 150 of the MSH2 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). This variant does not impact MSH2 function in a 6-thioguanine sensitivity assay in haploid human cells (internally defined LOF score threshold <= -1.32, PMID: 33357406). This variant has been observed in a cohort of individuals affected with prostate cancer (PMID: 31874108). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.

PMID: 33357406

This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 150 of the MSH2 protein (p.Val150Ile). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MSH2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 582751). Invitae Evidence Modeling incorporating data from in vitro experimental studies (PMID: 33357406) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt MSH2 function with a negative predictive value of 95%. 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.

Clinical Statement

"This variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (4 clinical laboratories)."

VCEP Guidelines

Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific)

Filter Criteria:
PVS1

PVS1 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PVS1 is: "Very Strong Nonsense/frameshift variant introducing Premature Termination Codon (PTC) ≤ codon 891 in MSH2...". The evidence for this variant shows: NM_000251.3:c.448G>A is a missense change (p.V150I), not a null or splice-site variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because the variant type does not meet PVS1 requirements.

PS1

PS1 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS1 is: "A predicted missense substitution that encodes the same amino acid change with a different underlying nucleotide change previously established by this VCEP as Pathogenic...". The evidence for this variant shows: p.V150I has not been previously established as pathogenic via any nucleotide change. Therefore, PS1 is not applied.

PS2

PS2 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS2 is: "Very Strong: ≥4 de novo points; Strong: 2–3 de novo points; Moderate: 1 de novo point; Supporting: 0.5 de novo points.". The evidence for this variant shows: de novo status has not been assessed (no parental testing). Therefore, PS2 is not applied due to lack of de novo evidence.

PS3

PS3 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS3 is: "Strong: Calibrated functional assays with functional odds for Pathogenicity >18.7; Moderate: assays with odds >4.3 ≤18.7; Supporting: odds >2.08 ≤4.3.". The evidence for this variant shows: no functional studies have been performed on MSH2 p.V150I. Therefore, PS3 is not applied.

PS4

PS4 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS4 is: "The prevalence of the variant in affected individuals is significantly increased compared with controls.". The evidence for this variant shows: no case–control or segregation prevalence data are available. Therefore, PS4 is not applied.

PM1

PM1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM1 is: "Located in a mutational hot spot and/or critical and well‐established functional domain without benign variation.". The evidence for this variant shows: p.V150I is not located in a known critical functional domain or hotspot. Therefore, PM1 is not applied.

PM2

PM2 (Supporting)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM2 is: "Supporting: Absent/extremely rare (<1 in 50,000 alleles) in gnomAD v4 dataset.". The evidence for this variant shows: NM_000251.3:c.448G>A is not found in gnomAD or other population databases. Therefore, PM2 is applied at Supporting strength.

PM3

PM3 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM3 is: "Points for variants detected in trans with a pathogenic variant in recessive disorders.". The evidence for this variant shows: no data on in trans occurrence with a pathogenic MSH2 variant. Therefore, PM3 is not applied.

PM4

PM4 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM4 is: "Protein length changes due to in‐frame deletions/insertions in a non-repeat region or stop‐loss variants.". The evidence for this variant shows: p.V150I is a missense substitution, not an in‐frame indel. Therefore, PM4 is not applied.

PM5

PM5 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM5 is: "Missense change at an amino acid residue where a different missense change was classified by this VCEP as Pathogenic.". The evidence for this variant shows: no other pathogenic missense changes at codon 150 in MSH2. Therefore, PM5 is not applied.
