Abstract

This study investigates the frequency of a clinically reported variant in PMS2, NM_000535.7:c.2523G>A p.(W841∗), from next-generation sequencing studies in 2 racially diverse cohorts. We identified clinical reports of the PMS2 c.2523G>A p.(W841∗) variant in the National Precision Oncology Program’s somatic testing database (n = 25,168). We determined frequency of the variant in germline exome sequencing from the Penn Medicine BioBank (n = 44,256) and in gnomAD. The PMS2 c.2523G>A p.(W841∗) was identified as a homozygous variant on tumor testing in an adult patient of self-identified Black race/ethnicity with no evidence of constitutional mismatch repair deficiency. The variant was clinically reported on 35 total tumor and liquid biopsy tests (0.1%), and all individuals with the variant were of self-identified Black race/ethnicity (0.6% of n = 5787). In individuals of African genetic ancestry (AFR), the variant's germline frequency was reported to be 0.2% and 1.3% in the Penn Medicine BioBank (PMBB) and gnomAD, respectively. The variant cannot be found in any individuals of European genetic ancestry (EUR) from either of the databases. The variant is found in a region of PMS2 with 100% homology to the PMS2CL pseudogene. PMS2 c.2523G>A p.(W841∗), when identified, is typically an African-ancestry-specific PMS2CL pseudogene variant, which should be recognized to prevent misdiagnosis of Lynch syndrome in Blacks.

Abstract

Background Cardiometabolic diseases are highly comorbid, but their relationship with female‐specific or overwhelmingly female‐predominant health conditions (breast cancer, endometriosis, pregnancy complications) is understudied. This study aimed to estimate the cross‐trait genetic overlap and influence of genetic burden of cardiometabolic traits on health conditions unique to women. Methods and Results Using electronic health record data from 71 008 ancestrally diverse women, we examined relationships between 23 obstetrical/gynecological conditions and 4 cardiometabolic phenotypes (body mass index, coronary artery disease, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension) by performing 4 analyses: (1) cross‐trait genetic correlation analyses to compare genetic architecture, (2) polygenic risk score–based association tests to characterize shared genetic effects on disease risk, (3) Mendelian randomization for significant associations to assess cross‐trait causal relationships, and (4) chronology analyses to visualize the timeline of events unique to groups of women with high and low genetic burden for cardiometabolic traits and highlight the disease prevalence in risk groups by age. We observed 27 significant associations between cardiometabolic polygenic scores and obstetrical/gynecological conditions (body mass index and endometrial cancer, body mass index and polycystic ovarian syndrome, type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes, type 2 diabetes and polycystic ovarian syndrome). Mendelian randomization analysis provided additional evidence of independent causal effects. We also identified an inverse association between coronary artery disease and breast cancer. High cardiometabolic polygenic scores were associated with early development of polycystic ovarian syndrome and gestational hypertension. Conclusions We conclude that polygenic susceptibility to cardiometabolic traits is associated with elevated risk of certain female‐specific health conditions.
