Is MSH2 p.Phe836Ser (c.2507T>C) pathogenic?

MSH2 p.Phe836Ser (c.2507T>C) is classified Uncertain significance in MSH2 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 3 submitters; last evaluated 2025-12-05). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.9973); Very rare (popmax 0.000254%, nfe); Associated with Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms.

What condition is associated with MSH2 p.Phe836Ser (c.2507T>C)?

MSH2 p.Phe836Ser (c.2507T>C) is associated with Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms, hereditary neoplastic syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is MSH2 p.Phe836Ser (c.2507T>C) in the general population?

MSH2 p.Phe836Ser (c.2507T>C) is very rare (popmax 0.000254%, nfe) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about MSH2 p.Phe836Ser (c.2507T>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.9973) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

AlphaMissense	0.9973	likely pathogenic · top 3% in MSH2
REVEL	0.918	moderately pathogenic-leaning
SaProt	LLR -15.60	damaging
⇒ AlphaMissense, REVEL and SaProt all call this damaging.

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean damaging — a triage signal, not a reclassification

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.

Rarity supports pathogenicity (ACMG PM2); frequency above a disease-specific BA1/BS1 threshold argues against it. A variant frequent in one ancestry group can be near-absent in others, so a single global figure can mislead.
