NM_000179.3:c.2161A>G
Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points: 0P and 2B. BP4_Moderate
The NM_000179.3(MSH6):āc.2161A>Gā(p.Arg721Gly) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000558 in 1,614,210 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 Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R721T) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Lynch syndrome Uncertain:2
- -
This missense variant replaces arginine with glycine at codon 721 of the MSH6 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has been observed in an individual affected with colorectal or endometrial cancer (PMID: 31391288), and in an individual affected with breast cancer (PMID: 25186627). This variant has been identified in 5/282358 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
The p.R721G variant (also known as c.2161A>G), located in coding exon 4 of the MSH6 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 2161. The arginine at codon 721 is replaced by glycine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration was detected on a 25-gene panel test in a woman of Neareast/Mideast ancestry who was diagnosed with breast cancer (Tung N et al. Cancer, 2015 Jan;121:25-33). 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. -
