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]

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:4
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthOct 02, 2023This missense variant replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 468 of the MSH6 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals with Lynch syndrome-associated cancers whose tumors exhibited microsatellite stability or normal mismatch repair protein expression via immunohistochemistry analysis (ClinVar SCV000217287.8), as well as an individual affected with Lynch syndrome associated cancer and/or colorectal polyps (PMID: 25980754). This variant has been identified in 3/251136 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMay 12, 2023The p.R468C variant (also known as c.1402C>T), located in coding exon 4 of the MSH6 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1402. The arginine at codon 468 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This alteration was detected in a cohort of 1260 patients with a Lynch syndrome-associated cancer and/or polyps (Yurgelun MB et al. Gastroenterology. 2015 Sep;149(3):604-13.e20). In addition, this alteration was detected in 1/1197 individuals from Greece, Romania, and Turkey undergoing evaluation for inherited cancer predisposition (Tsaousis GN et al. BMC Cancer. 2019 Jun;19:535). This variant has been identified in multiple probands whose Lynch syndrome-associated tumor was microsatellite stable or demonstrated normal mismatch repair protein expression by immunohistochemistry (Ambry internal data). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

not specified Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineMay 12, 2020The p.Arg468Cys variant in MSH6 has been reported in one individual with suspected Lynch syndrome (Yurgelun 2015 PMID 25980754). This variant has also been reported by other clinical laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID 89191) and has been identified in 0.003% (3/113504) of European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that the p.Arg468Cys variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, the clinical significance of the p.Arg468Cys variant is uncertain. ACMG criteria applied: PM2, PP3. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMar 11, 2021Variant summary: MSH6 c.1402C>T (p.Arg468Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the DNA mismatch repair protein MutS-like, N-terminal domain (IPR007695) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 251136 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1402C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals screened for Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer (e.g. Yurgelun_2015, Gordon_2019) and Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (e.g. Tung_2015, Tsaousis_2019) without strong evidence for causality. These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Seven other clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories cited the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
MSH6-related disorder Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesNov 09, 2023The MSH6 c.1402C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg468Cys. This variant has been reported as a variant of uncertain significance in individuals with a personal or family history of Lynch Syndrome (Table S2, Yurgelun. 2015, PubMed ID: 25980754; Gordon. 2019. PubMed ID: 31422818). This variant is reported in 0.0026% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/2-48026524-C-T) and is interpreted as uncertain in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/89191/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
Lynch syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingUniversity of Washington Department of Laboratory Medicine, University of WashingtonMay 01, 2018MSH6 NM_000179.2:c.1402C>T has a 64.4% probability of pathogenicity based on combining prior probability from public data with a likelihood ratio of 0.20 to 1, generated from evidence of seeing this as a somatic mutation in a tumor without loss of heterozygosity at the MSH6 locus.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxDec 01, 2022Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 23621914, 26333163, 29887214, 29581542, 31159747, 30798936, 17531815, 21120944, 25980754) -
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeFeb 01, 2024This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 468 of the MSH6 protein (p.Arg468Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs369456858, gnomAD 0.002%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Lynch syndrome (PMID: 25186627, 25980754, 31159747, 31422818). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 89191). An algorithm developed specifically for the MSH6 gene suggests that this missense change is likely to be deleterious (PMID: 23621914). 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. -
Lynch syndrome 5 Benign:1
Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingMyriad Genetics, Inc.Nov 13, 2023This variant is considered benign. Homozygosity for this variant has been confirmed in one or more individuals lacking clinical features consistent with gene-specific recessive disease, indicating that this variant is unlikely to be pathogenic. This variant is strongly associated with less severe personal and family histories of cancer, typical for individuals without pathogenic variants in this gene [PMID: 27363726]. -
