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.

MSH6 links:

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: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

MSH6 c.2281A>G (p.Arg761Gly) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the DNA mismatch repair protein MutS. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00006 in 251138 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.2281A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colon Cancer and melanoma (e.g. Martin-Morales_2018, Rey_2017, Ricker_2017, Yehia_2018). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colon Cancer. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Seven ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Variant summary: MSH6 c.2281A>G (p.Arg761Gly) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the core domain (IPR007696) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.5e-05 in 1614172 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00038 within the Latino subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within Latino control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 2.7 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in MSH6 causing Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer phenotype (0.00014). c.2281A>G has also been reported in the literature in individuals affected with polyps and/or tumors belonging to Lynch syndrome tumor spectrum (e.g. Rey_2017, Ricker_2017, Martin-Morales_2018), in individuals affected with other tumor phenotypes (e.g. Yehia_2018, Dorling_2021, Castillo-Guardioloa_2022, Sahin_2022), as well as in unaffected controls (Dorling_2021). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colon Cancer. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 23621914, 28502729, 28640387, 30256826, 29684080, 33471991, 35089076, 35245693). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 140836). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

The MSH6 c.2281A>G; p.Arg761Gly variant (rs199876321) is reported in two probands who underwent hereditary colorectal cancer testing (Rey 2017). This variant is reported as uncertain significance by multiple laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID: 140836). It is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.006% (15/251138 alleles) Genome Aggregation Database. The arginine at codon 761 is moderately conserved, but computational analyses (SIFT: Damaging, PolyPhen-2: Benign) predict conflicting effects of this variant on protein structure/function. Due to limited information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time. REFERENCES Rey JM et al. Improving Mutation Screening in Patients with Colorectal Cancer Predisposition Using Next-Generation Sequencing. J Mol Diagn. 2017 Jul;19(4):589-601. -

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces arginine with glycine at codon 761 of the MSH6 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals with personal and/or family history of Lynch syndrome-associated cancer and/or polyps (PMID: 28502729, 30256826), colorectal cancer who also had a pathogenic MUTYH variant (PMID: 28640387), skin melanoma (PMID: 29684080), breast cancer (PMID: 35245693), or lymphoblastic leukemia (DOI: 10.5603/oJ.2021.0046). In a large breast cancer case-control study, this variant was reported in 7/60466 cases and 7/53461 unaffected controls (PMID: 33471991). This variant has been identified in 15/251138 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. -
