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]

This variant is denoted MSH6 c.1176T>A at the cDNA level, p.Asp392Glu (D392E) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Aspartic Acid to a Glutamic Acid (GAT>GAA). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. MSH6 Asp392Glu 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. Since Aspartic Acid and Glutamic Acid share similar properties, this is considered a conservative amino acid substitution and is unlikely to affect protein integrity. MSH6 Asp392Glu occurs at a position that is well conserved across species and is not located in a known functional domain. In silico analyses predict that this variant is probably damaging to protein structure and function. Based on currently available information, it is unclear whether MSH6 Asp392Glu is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance.Of note, two deleterious MSH6 mutations on opposite chromosomes (in trans) are expected to cause Congenital Mismatch Repair Deficiency syndrome (CMMR-D). Therefore, if the variants are in trans, and if this patient does not have CMMR-D, then at least one variant is likely benign. Parental or family testing could help determine whether the variants are in cis or trans. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.D392E variant (also known as c.1176T>A), located in coding exon 4 of the MSH6 gene, results from a T to A substitution at nucleotide position 1176. The aspartic acid at codon 392 is replaced by glutamic acid, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
