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.

FBXO11 (HGNC:13590): (F-box protein 11) This gene encodes a member of the F-box protein family which is characterized by an approximately 40 amino acid motif, the F-box. The F-box proteins constitute one of the four subunits of ubiquitin protein ligase complex called SCFs (SKP1-cullin-F-box), which function in phosphorylation-dependent ubiquitination. The F-box proteins are divided into 3 classes: Fbws containing WD-40 domains, Fbls containing leucine-rich repeats, and Fbxs containing either different protein-protein interaction modules or no recognizable motifs. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the Fbxs class. It can function as an arginine methyltransferase that symmetrically dimethylates arginine residues, and it acts as an adaptor protein to mediate the neddylation of p53, which leads to the suppression of p53 function. This gene is known to be down-regulated in melanocytes from patients with vitiligo, a skin disorder that results in depigmentation. Polymorphisms in this gene are associated with chronic otitis media with effusion and recurrent otitis media (COME/ROM), a hearing loss disorder, and the knockout of the homologous mouse gene results in the deaf mouse mutant Jeff (Jf), a single gene model of otitis media. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]

Variant summary: This c.892C>T variant results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncated or absent MSH6 protein. Heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in this gene is an established disease mechanism in Lynch Syndrome (LS) or LS-associated cancers. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (e.g. p.Arg482X, p.Arg911X, p.Arg1035X, etc.). This variant was found in 1/13006 control chromosomes from NHLBI ESP at a frequency of 0.0000769, which is lower than the maximal expected frequency of a pathogenic allele (0.0001421) in this gene. It was not found in approximately 121148 chromosomes from the broad and large populations from ExAC. This variant has been reported in two cases in literature, one known to be diagnosed with Endometrial Cancer with high risk of Lynch Syndrome based on the family history (Goodfellow_2015, Retterer_2015). In addition, the variant has been reported in 10 individuals in UMD database and in two individual by a clinical laboratory (Mayo Clinic Genetic Testing Laboratories) without information about clinical diagnosis. Multiple reputable databases and clinical laboratories have classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant has been classified as a Pathogenic. -

The p.Arg298X variant in MSH6 has been reported in at least 2 individuals with MSH6-associated cancers (Goodfellow 2015, Susswein et al. 2016) and has also been identified in 1/15278 African chromosomes by the genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 298, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the MSH6 gene is an established disease mechanism in Lynch syndrome. Moreover, this variant was classified as pathogenic on September 5, 2013 by the ClinGen-approved InSiGHT expert panel (ClinVar SCV000108264.2). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for Lynch syndrome in an autosomal dominant manner based upon the predicted impact on the protein and low frequency in controls.

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.R298* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.892C>T), located in coding exon 4 of the MSH6 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 892. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 4. This mutation has been reported in multiple individuals with hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC)/Lynch syndrome, including patients whose tumors demonstrated high microsatellite instability and/or loss of MSH2/MSH6 staining by immunohistochemistry (IHC) (Goodfellow PJ et al. J Clin Oncol, 2015 Dec;33:4301-8; Susswein LR et al. Genet Med, 2016 08;18:823-32; Morak M et al. Fam Cancer, 2017 Oct;16:491-500; Roberts ME et al. Genet Med, 2018 10;20:1167-1174; Long B et al. Gynecol Oncol, 2019 01;152:20-25; Salvador MU et al. J Clin Oncol, 2019 03;37:647-657; Pearlman R et al. J Med Genet, 2019 07;56:462-470; Bennett JA et al. Am J Surg Pathol, 2019 02;43:235-243). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg298*) in the MSH6 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MSH6 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18269114, 24362816). This variant is present in population databases (rs146816935, gnomAD 0.007%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with endometrial cancer (PMID: 26552419). Invitae Evidence Modeling of clinical and family history, age, sex, and reported ancestry of multiple individuals with this MSH6 variant has been performed. This variant is expected to be pathogenic with a positive predictive value of at least 99%. This is a validated machine learning model that incorporates the clinical features of 1,370,736 individuals referred to our laboratory for MSH6 testing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 89574). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
