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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthApr 20, 2023This missense variant replaces glutamic acid with lysine at codon 639 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 affected with colorectal cancer (PMID: 26845104, 27978560), glioma (PMID: 26689913) and breast cancer (PMID: 33471991). This variant has been identified in 4/282398 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 01, 2023The p.E639K variant (also known as c.1915G>A), located in coding exon 4 of the MSH6 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1915. The glutamic acid at codon 639 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been reported in an individual with sigmoid colon cancer at age 47 years whose tumor was determined to be MSH6-proficient via immunohistochemistry (Pearlman et al. JAMA Oncol 2017 Apr;3(4):464-471). This alteration has also been reported in patients with colorectal cancer and low grade glioma (Lu C et al. Nat Commun. 2015 Dec 22;6:10086; Shirts BH et al. Genet Med, 2016 10;18:974-81). 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:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpNov 13, 2018Variant summary: MSH6 c.1915G>A (p.Glu639Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the DNA mismatch repair protein MutS, connector domain of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.2e-05 in 276788 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1915G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with colon cancer and glioma. These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Lynch Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Seven clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
Lynch syndrome 5 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaJan 13, 2018This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -
MSH6-related disorder Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesJul 05, 2023The MSH6 c.1915G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Glu639Lys. This variant has been reported in individuals with colorectal cancer, sequenced as part of large cohort screens; however, causation was not established in these studies (see for example, Shirts et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26845104; Pearlman et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 27978560). This variant is reported in 0.0040% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/2-48027037-G-A), and it is classified as uncertain (9) and likely benign (1) in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/185463/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
