NM_000179.3:c.1346T>A
Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PM2PM5PP3_Strong
The NM_000179.3(MSH6):c.1346T>A(p.Leu449Gln) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic 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. L449P) has been classified as Pathogenic.

Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms    Uncertain:1 
This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 449 of the MSH6 protein (p.Leu449Gln). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MSH6-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1770483). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt MSH6 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. This variant disrupts the p.Leu449 amino acid residue in MSH6. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 16283884). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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.L449Q variant (also known as c.1346T>A), located in coding exon 4 of the MSH6 gene, results from a T to A substitution at nucleotide position 1346. The leucine at codon 449 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. Based on internal structural analysis, the variant is moderately destabilizing to the local structure and near an interface with DNA (Warren JJ et al. Mol. Cell, 2007 May;26:579-92). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
