Variant summary
Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 4 ACMG points: 6P and 2B. PM1PM2PM5BP4_Moderate
The NM_000179.3(MSH6):c.3452C>T(p.Ala1151Val) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,612 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 17/22 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A1151G) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

This variant is denoted MSH6 c.3452C>T at the cDNA level, p.Ala1151Val (A1151V) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Alanine to a Valine (GCT>GTT). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as either a pathogenic germline variant or a benign polymorphism. However, it has been reported as a somatic variant in a malignant glioma (Maxwell 2008). MSH6 Ala1151Val was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, suggesting it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Alanine and Valine share similar properties, this is considered a conservative amino acid substitution. MSH6 Ala1151Val occurs at a position where amino acids with properties similar to Alanine are tolerated across species and is located in the ATP binding domain and domain V of the MutS domain (Kariola 2002, Terui 2013). In silico analyses are inconsistent regarding the effect this variant may have on protein structure and function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether MSH6 Ala1151Val is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms    Uncertain:1 
Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The valine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, suggesting that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. Also, an algorithm developed specifically for the MSH6 gene suggests that this missense change is likely to be tolerated (PMID: 23621914). However, these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. This sequence change replaces alanine with valine at codon 1151 of the MSH6 protein (p.Ala1151Val). The alanine residue is weakly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between alanine and valine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with MSH6-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 422282). 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. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome    Uncertain:1 
The p.A1151V variant (also known as c.3452C>T), located in coding exon 6 of the MSH6 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 3452. The alanine at codon 1151 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
