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]

The p.Ala1320SerfsX5 variant was not identified in the literature. It was identified in one database, inSIGHT Colon Cancer database 1X as a pathogenic variant and associated with an MSI-H tumour. It was not identified in any of the following databases: dbSNP, 1000 Genomes Project, NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (Exome Variant Server), Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) database, HGMD, COSMIC, MutDB, “Mismatch Repair Genes Variant Database”, “MMR Gene Unclassified Variants Database”, “Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database”, the ClinVar database, GeneInsight VariantWire database, and UMD. The p.Ala1320SerfsX5 duplication variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 1320 and leads to a premature stop codon 5 codons downstream. 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 this 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. -

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts a region of the MSH6 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Ala1320Glufs*6) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 21155762). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 433931). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer, endometrial and ovarian cancer, and/or Lynch syndrome (PMID: 18809606, 19459153, 25186627, 25980754, 26552419, 26681312, 26845104, 27456091). This variant is present in population databases (rs587779297, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ala1320Serfs*5) in the MSH6 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 41 amino acid(s) of the MSH6 protein. -

The c.3957dupA variant, located in coding exon 9 of the MSH6 gene, results from a duplication of A at nucleotide position 3957, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.A1320Sfs*5). This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of theMSH6 gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and only impacts the last 41 amino acids of the protein. However, premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature and the impacted region is critical for protein function (Ambry internal data). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
