The NM_000179.3(MSH6):c.3232_3234delGTAinsTTG (p.Val1078Leu) variant causes a missense change. The gene MSH6 is a tumor suppressor gene (CancerMine: 1 TSG, 8 oncogene, 1 driver citations). The gene MSH6 is a known oncogene (CancerMine: 1 TSG, 8 oncogene, 1 driver citations). The gene MSH6 is a cancer driver gene (CancerMine: 1 TSG, 8 oncogene, 1 driver citations). Note: allele frequency estimates from gnomAD may be inaccurate for this variant type (MNP or indel longer than 3 bp) due to technology limitations. The variant is absent from the gnomAD population database at sites with sufficient sequencing coverage. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.V1078A: Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity (ClinVar VariationId 134855); p.V1078I: Uncertain_significance (ClinVar VariationId 3693927, 1 star); p.V1078L: Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity (ClinVar VariationId 127582); p.V1078L: Uncertain_significance (ClinVar VariationId 1729213, 1 star); p.V1078= (synonymous): Benign (ClinVar VariationId 3903497, 1 star); p.V1078= (synonymous): Benign/Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 924451, 2 stars)

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]
