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]

Significance:Likely pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Leu370Ser variant in MSH6 has been identified in at least 14 individuals with Lynch syndrome associated cancers and segregated with disease in 4 affected relatives from 2 families (Egoavil 2013, Batte 2014, Pearlman 2017, GeneDx pers. comm., Ambry pers. comm.). In addition, tumors sampled from at least 10 individuals lacked MSH6 expression and/or showed high microsatellite instability, while at least one tumor showed normal MSH6 expression and/or low microsatellite instability. This variant has also been reported by other clinical laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID #89172) and was absent from large population studies. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal dominant Lynch syndrome.

Significance:Likely pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces leucine with serine at codon 370 of the MSH6 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been observed in individuals affected with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 32652087, 33393477), with endometrial cancer and/or colorectal cancer (PMID: 24933100, 24244552, 28765196, 30019097), or unspecified cancers (PMID: 28765196). Moreover, it has been observed to segregate with Lynch syndrome related cancers in one family (PMID: 27978560). In addition, a multifactorial likelihood model using in silico data have suggested this variant have a high probability of being deleterious (PMID: 23621914). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

The MSH6 c.1109T>C (p.Leu370Ser) variant has been reported in the published literature in multiple individuals affected with Lynch syndrome including colorectal cancer and endometrial cancer (PMIDs: 37751191 (2024), 37833309 (2023), 34994648 (2021), 33393477 (2021), 31391288 (2020), 32652087 (2020), 30019097 (2019), 27978560 (2016), 24933100 (2014), 24244552 (2013)). It was identified in molecular studies examining mismatch repair protein-deficient non-neoplastic colonic crypts and endometrial glands that were associated with underlying Lynch syndrome (PMID: 37030500 (2023)). Co-segregation of the variant with Lynch syndrome was observed in a large family (PMID: 37751715 (2023)). This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is damaging. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

The p.L370S pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1109T>C), located in coding exon 4 of the MSH6 gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 1109. The leucine at codon 370 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This variant has been found to co-segregate with disease in HNPCC/Lynch syndrome families (Ambry internal data; Pearlman R et al. JAMA Oncol. 2017 Apr;3:464-471). This variant was detected in 1/173 unselected Spanish women with endometrial cancer; tumor studies for this individual showed microsatellite stability (MSS) with loss of MSH6 protein expression, but intact MSH2 protein expression (Egoavil C et al. PLoS One. 2013 Nov 7;8(11):e79737). This alteration was also detected in a 53-year-old woman whose endometrial cancer showed low microsatellite instability (MSI-L) with normal protein expression for all the mismatch repair proteins; family history was noncontributory (Batte BA et al. Gynecol Oncol. 2014 Aug;134(2):319-25). In addition, this variant has been identified in numerous individuals whose HNPCC/Lynch syndrome-associated tumors demonstrated isolated loss of MSH6 staining on immunohistochemistry and/or had family histories that met Amsterdam II criteria (Ambry internal data). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

Variant summary: MSH6 c.1109T>C (p.Leu370Ser) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 250994 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1109T>C has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Lynch Syndrome and endometrial cancer (example, Egoavil_2013, Pearlman_2017, Chen_2020, Li_2020, Hampel_2021). Most of the reported patients were noted with loss of MSH6 expression in tumors by IHC analysis, although one patient was reported with intact MSH6 (Chen_2020). Furthermore, one of these studies reported co-segregation of the variant with disease among two first and second generation relatives within the family (Pearlman_2017). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Six ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic (n=1) and as likely pathogenic (n=5). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 370 of the MSH6 protein (p.Leu370Ser). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with endometrial cancer and/or colorectal cancer (PMID: 24244552, 24933100, 27978560; internal data). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. Invitae Evidence Modeling of clinical and family history, age, sex, and reported ancestry of multiple individuals with this MSH6 variant has been performed. This variant is expected to be pathogenic with a positive predictive value of at least 99%. This is a validated machine learning model that incorporates the clinical features of 1,370,736 individuals referred to our laboratory for MSH6 testing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 89172). An algorithm developed specifically for the MSH6 gene suggests that this missense change is likely to be deleterious (PMID: 23621914). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
