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]

Variant summary: MSH6 c.3416dupG (p.Lys1140GlnfsX24) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 251346 control chromosomes (gnomAD). To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.3416dupG in individuals affected with Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colon Cancer and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. A ClinVar submission from a clinical diagnostic laboratories (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys1140Glnfs*24) 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 hereditary cancer (PMID: 28514183). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 183742). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.3416dupG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 5 of the MSH6 gene, results from a duplication of G at nucleotide position 3416, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.K1140Qfs*24). This alteration has been identified in a individual undergoing multi-gene panel testing for a personal and/or family history of cancer (Espenschied CR et al. J Clin Oncol, 2017 Aug;35:2568-2575). Additionally, this alteration was identified in an individual diagnosed with ovarian cancer (Kim SR et al. Cancer, 2020 11;126:4886-4894). This variant was also reported in 1/60,466 breast cancer cases and in 0/53,461 controls (Dorling et al. N Engl J Med. 2021 02;384:428-439). 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. -

The MSH6 p.Lys1140Glnfs*24 variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the COGR, Cosmic, Zhejiang University Database, Mismatch Repair Genes Variant Database, or Insight Hereditary Tumors databases. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs786201052) as "With Pathogenic allele", and in ClinVar database (classified as pathogenic by Ambry Genetics). The variant was not identified in the following control databases: the Exome Aggregation Consortium (August 8th 2016), or the Genome Aggregation Database (Feb 27, 2017). The c.3416dup variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 1140 and leads to a premature stop codon at position 1163. This alteration is then predicted to result in a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. Loss of function variants of the MSH6 gene are an established mechanism of disease in Lynch syndrome and is the type of variant expected to cause the disorder. In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -
