What is PMS2?

PMS2 (Postmeiotic Segregation Increased 2) is a gene that plays a crucial role in the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) system. It helps maintain genomic stability by correcting errors that occur during DNA replication.

Mutations in PMS2 can lead to Lynch syndrome (also known as hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer, or HNPCC), an inherited condition that increases the risk of developing colorectal cancer and other cancers, such as endometrial, ovarian, and stomach cancer. PMS2 mutations impair the MMR system, allowing genetic mutations to accumulate in cells, potentially leading to cancer.

Testing for PMS2 mutations can be important for individuals with a family history of cancer to assess risk and guide surveillance strategies.

What to expect & how to prepare

PMS2 is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your PMS2 result rather than self-diagnosing.
