Lynch syndrome 5 Pathogenic:1
This variant is considered likely pathogenic. mRNA analysis has demonstrated abnormal mRNA splicing occurs [Myriad internal data]. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
The c.457G>C variant (also known as p.G153R), located in coding exon 2 of the MSH6 gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 457. The amino acid change results in glycine to arginine at codon 153, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. However, this change occurs in the last base pair of coding exon 2, which makes it likely to have some effect on normal mRNA splicing. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration may weaken the native splice donor site. RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in abnormal splicing in the set of samples tested (Ambry internal data). In addition, this variant has been identified in a proband whose Lynch syndrome-associated tumor demonstrated loss of MSH6 expression by immunohistochemistry (Ambry internal data). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
not specified Uncertain:1
Variant summary: MSH6 c.457G>C (p.Gly153Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the PWWP domain (IPR000313) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. As the variant alters the last conserved nucleotide of exon 2 adjacent to the canonical splice donor site, several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: One predicts the variant abolishes a canonical 5' splicing donor site, two predict the variant weakens the 5' donor site, and one does not predict a significant impact on splicing. These predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies in the published literature, however a ClinVar submitter cites internal data from RNA studies stating that this alteration results in abnormal splicing (Ambry internal data). The variant was absent in 251366 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.457G>C in individuals affected with Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer/Lynch syndrome and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported in the literature. Two submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. One submitter, citing both internal RNA splicing data and an internal observation of the variant in a proband with a Lynch syndrome-associated tumor with loss of MSH6 expression by immunohistochemistry, classified the variant as likely pathogenic, and one submitter classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Uncertain:1
In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are relatively common causes of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. This sequence change replaces glycine with arginine at codon 153 of the MSH6 protein (p.Gly153Arg). The glycine residue is moderately conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between glycine and arginine. This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 2 of the MSH6 coding sequence, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with MSH6-related disease. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). -
