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: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.E484Q pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1450G>C), located in coding exon 4 of the MSH6 gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 1450. The glutamic acid at codon 484 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant has been identified in trans with another pathogenic MSH6 mutation in an individual with clinical features of CMMRD (Ambry internal data). This variant has been identified in probands whose Lynch syndrome-associated tumor demonstrated loss of MSH6 expression by immunohistochemistry (Ambry internal data, external communication). Interrogation of the local protein structure indicates that this substitution would be destabilizing (Ambry internal data). This amino acid position is highly 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. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces glutamic acid with glutamine at codon 484 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 reported in individuals with clinical features of Lynch syndrome, and tumor data from some of these individuals shows loss of MSH6 expression via immunohistochemistry (ClinVar SCV000187236.10, SCV000260923.11). The variant has also been observed in trans with a pathogenic MSH6 variant in an individual with clinical features of constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (ClinVar SCV000187236.10). 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. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 484 of the MSH6 protein (p.Glu484Gln). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of Lynch syndrome (internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142768). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on MSH6 protein function. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
