The recorded framework is ClinGen MSH2 VCEP v2.0.0. The criteria and strengths shown below come from the saved assessment; this page does not recalculate the classification.
The applied criteria and their strengths are shown as assessed under the stated framework.
No pathogenic criterion marked as applied in the recorded assessment.
The InSiGHT MMR VCEP BS1_Strong threshold is gnomAD v4 Grpmax filtering allele frequency >= 0.0001 and < 0.001 (0.01-0.1%), with exclusion as a founder pathogenic variant. The gnomAD v4.1 grpmax FAF is 0.00033148 (0.033%), which falls within this range. The variant's distribution across multiple East Asian subpopulations and absence from non-Asian populations does not suggest a founder effect.
Richards et.al., 2015 - Combining rules v2.0.0 criteria-combination framework was evaluated deterministically with applied criteria: BS1 strong; no rule matched the adjudicated criteria.

gnomAD v4.1: 58 / 1,614,108 alleles. Recorded AF 3.59332e-05. Recorded homozygote count 0.
This variant is present in gnomAD v2.1 (AF= 4.77243e-05; MAF= 0.00477%, 12/251444 alleles, homozygotes = 0) and has highest observed frequency in the East Asian population (AF= 0.000326193; MAF= 0.03262%, 6/18394 alleles, homozygotes = 0); grpmax FAF= 0.00014146.
Recorded SpliceAI maximum delta score: 0.000. Refer to the recorded PP3/BP4 rationale for interpretation.

OncoKB did not identify variant-specific reviewed functional evidence for this variant; gene-level curated context is available for reviewer follow-up. MSH2, a DNA mismatch repair protein, is frequently mutated in colorectal, small bowel, and endometrial cancers.
This variant has previously been reported in somatic cancers (COSMIC; COSV51876328, n = 3 times).
This variant does not lie in a statistically significant hotspot.

29 criteria with recorded statuses: 1 met · 11 not met · 3 not assessed · 14 not applicable. Open any row for the full reasoning, the rule and the evidence behind it.
The InSiGHT MMR VCEP BS1_Strong criterion is met: gnomAD v4.1 grpmax filtering allele frequency of 0.033% (0.00033148) falls within the 0.01-0.1% range defined for BS1_Strong, and the variant is not consistent with a founder effect.
PM2_Supporting is not met: the gnomAD v4.1 allele frequency of 0.0036% exceeds the VCEP threshold of < 0.002% (< 1 in 50,000 alleles).
PP3 is not met: the HCI prior probability of 0.3778 is below the PP3_Supporting threshold of > 0.68, and SpliceAI predicts no splicing impact (delta = 0.00).
PVS1 is not applicable: this is a missense variant (p.Ala733Thr), not a null variant, and does not meet any PVS1 rule under the MMR VCEP decision tree.
PS3 remains not assessed: the VCEP-calibrated functional assay (PMID:33357406) likely includes this variant but variant-specific confirmation was not available in this review.
Under the InSiGHT MMR VCEP v2.0.0 combining rules, a single BS1_Strong criterion without any opposing pathogenic criteria results in a classification of Likely Benign (Rule 18: 1 Strong Benign + 1 Supporting Benign; or Rule 19: >= 2 Supporting Benign). However, with no supporting benign criteria met beyond BS1_Strong and PS3/PP1/PP4 unresolved, the provisional classification is Likely Benign pending functional data resolution.
