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]

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpSep 06, 2019Variant summary: MSH6 c.926C>G (p.Ser309Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0003 in 251308 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0024 within the South Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 1 homozygote. The observed variant frequency within South Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 17 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in MSH6 causing Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colon Cancer phenotype (0.00014), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of South Asian origin. c.926C>G has been reported in the literature in individual(s) affected with advanced cancer (Mandelker_2017). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colon Cancer. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Six ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as likely benign (2x) and uncertain significance (4x). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

MSH6-related disorder Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesAug 31, 2023The MSH6 c.926C>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ser309Cys. This variant has been reported in at least one individual with advanced cancer (Mandelker et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28873162) and in a patient with ovarian cancer (Prokofyeva et al. 2023. PubMed ID: 37013556). This variant was also reported in two individuals with endometrial cancer; however, immunohistochemistry of the tumor found one individual had normal MSH6 staining while MSH6 was absent in the other (Chao et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31307542). This variant is reported in 0.24% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/2-48026048-C-G) and has conflicting interpretations regarding its pathogenicity in ClinVar, ranging from benign to a variant of uncertain significance (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/127607/). At this time, while we suspect this variant could be benign (based on minor allele frequency) the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
Carcinoma of colon Benign:1
Likely benign, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The MSH6 p.Ser309Cys variant was identified in 1 of 2080 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0005) from individuals with advanced cancer (Mandelker 2017). The variant was identified in dbSNP (rs544222338) as “with uncertain significance allele”, ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by GeneDx, Ambry Genetics and likely benign by Color and Invitae) and UMD-LSDB (observed 1x). The variant was identified in control databases in 75 of 277,020 chromosomes (1 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.0003 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 1 of 24,004 chromosomes (freq: 0.00004), European in 3 of 126,576 chromosomes (freq: 0.00002) and South Asian in 71 of 30,780 chromosomes (freq: 0.002). The variant was not observed in the Other, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, and Finnish populations. The p.Ser309Cys residue is not conserved in mammals and four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 1 of 4 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. -
