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]

Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); Truncating variants in this gene are considered pathogenic by a well-established clinical consortium and/or database; Observed in individuals with MSH6-related cancers (Terui et al., 2013; Cragun et al., 2014); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 28152038, 24506336, 24100870) -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Q978* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2932C>T), located in coding exon 4 of the MSH6 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2932. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 4. This pathogenic mutation has been reported in individuals with a personal and family history of Lynch syndrome related cancers (Terui H et al. Oncol. Rep. 2013 Dec; 30(6):2909-16; Cragun D et al. Clin. Genet. 2014 Dec; 86(6):510-20). 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. -

PVS1, PM2_Supporting, PP4_Strong c.2932C>T, located in exon 4 of the MSH6 gene, is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation before codon 1341 (p.(Gln978*)) (PVS1). It is not present in the population database gnomAD v2.1.1, non cancer dataset (PM2_supporting). The SpliceAI algorithm predicts no significant impact on splicing. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has been reported in a patient affected with CRC which tumour immunohistochemistry (IHC) revealed loss of MSH6 protein expression and was also MSI-H (PMID: 24100870), in another family in a patient affected with endometrial cancer with family history of CRC (no tumour data) (PMID: 24506336), and also it was identified in a patient affected with ovarian, cervical and endometrial cancer at age 44 which tumour immunohistochemistry (IHC) revealed loss of MSH6 protein expression (internal data), and also in two patients of the same family affected with CRC and endometrial cancer, respectively, both with tumours that revealed loss of MSH6 protein expression (internal data) (PP4_Strong). The variant has been reported in ClinVar database (1x likley pathogenic, 5x pathogenic), but it has not been reported in InSiGHT nor in LOVD databases. Based on currently available information, the variant c.2932C>T should be considered a pathogenic variant. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln978*) 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 not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Lynch syndrome (PMID: 24100870). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 140922). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
