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]

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Y1159* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.3477C>G), located in coding exon 6 of the MSH6 gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 3477. This changes the amino acid from a tyrosine to a stop codon within coding exon 6. A different substitution (c.3477C>A) resulting in the same premature stop codon has been reported in a family with Lynch syndrome (Bonadona V et al. JAMA 2011 Jun;305:2304-10). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

Variant summary: MSH6 c.3477C>G (p.Tyr1159X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (eg. p.Asp1171fsX5, p.Arg1172fsX5, p.His1203fsX12). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.1e-06 in 246160 control chromosomes. c.3477C>G has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Lynch Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. A different mutation resulting in the same amino acid change has been classified as pathogenic by our lab (c.3476dupA, p.Tyr1159X). Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr1159*) in the MSH6 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MSH6 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18269114, 24362816). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 21642682). Invitae’s Lynch syndrome clinical variant model, which takes into account the clinical and family history, age, sex, and reported ancestry of multiple individuals with this MSH6 variant, predicts that it is pathogenic with a positive predictive value of at least 99%. This is a validated machine learning model developed at Invitae that incorporates the clinical features of 1,370,736 individuals referred for testing at Invitae. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 237193). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
