unknown · exon 6i

PMS2 is a DNA mismatch-repair protein that works with MLH1 to correct replication errors, including mismatches and small insertion or deletion loops. It acts as a tumor suppressor, and inherited loss of PMS2 function can cause Lynch syndrome and constitutional mismatch repair deficiency, increasing the risk of colorectal, endometrial, ovarian, urothelial, and other cancers. Loss of PMS2 function in tumors can cause hypermutation and microsatellite instability, which may make some cancers responsive to certain immunotherapies.

This variant

PMS2 encodes a DNA mismatch-repair protein whose inherited loss of function is associated with Lynch syndrome and constitutional mismatch repair deficiency.

VUS: PM2 (supporting) and BP4 (supporting) are met, but no VCEP pathogenic or benign combination rule is satisfied.
Classification rationale
PM2 BP4 VUS
PMS2 c.706-13T>C unknown · exon 6i

PM2 Supporting: gnomAD v4.1 allele frequency 9.96589e-06 is below the VCEP threshold of 0.00002. BP4 Supporting: SpliceAI maximum delta score 0.009 is within the VCEP no-splicing-impact threshold of <=0.1.

LYFE Sciences is an AI system, and it can make mistakes. Criteria may be applied incorrectly, sources may be misread, and a confident-looking classification can still be wrong. Double-check every criterion and its underlying evidence before relying on any call.
