Genes affected

MSH6 (HGNC:7329): (mutS homolog 6) This gene encodes a member of the DNA mismatch repair MutS family. In E. coli, the MutS protein helps in the recognition of mismatched nucleotides prior to their repair. A highly conserved region of approximately 150 aa, called the Walker-A adenine nucleotide binding motif, exists in MutS homologs. The encoded protein heterodimerizes with MSH2 to form a mismatch recognition complex that functions as a bidirectional molecular switch that exchanges ADP and ATP as DNA mismatches are bound and dissociated. Mutations in this gene may be associated with hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer, colorectal cancer, and endometrial cancer. Transcripts variants encoding different isoforms have been described.

This variant is denoted MSH6 c.-44G>T, and describes a nucleotide substitution 44 base pairs upstream of the MSH6 ATG translational start site in the 5' untranslated region (UTR). The surrounding sequence, with the base that is substituted in braces, is TTTA[G/T]GAGC. This variant has not been published to our knowledge. MSH6 c.-44G>T was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. This substitution is not tolerated in evolution and it occurs at a position that is conserved in mammals. Although MSH6 c.-44G>T does not affect the usual start codon or the Kozak translational consensus sequence, it does create a new in-frame ATG start codon. Since the creation of this new start codon may or may not inhibit proper protein functioning, the clinical significance of this finding remains unclear at this time and we consider MSH6 c.-44G>T to be a variant of uncertain significance. -
