Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000179.3(MSH6):c.3939dupT(p.Gln1314SerfsTer5) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000657 in 152,128 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. Q1314Q) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2
This variant inserts 1 nucleotide in exon 9 of the MSH6 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of MSH6 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
The c.3939dupT variant, located in coding exon 9 of the MSH6 gene, results from a duplication of T at nucleotide position 3939, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.Q1314Sfs*5). This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of theMSH6 gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and impacts the last 3.45% of the protein. However, premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature and the impacted region is critical for protein function (Ambry internal data). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
Lynch syndrome 5 Pathogenic:1
This variant is considered pathogenic. This variant creates a frameshift predicted to result in premature protein truncation. -
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Pathogenic:1
This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with MSH6-related conditions. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln1314Serfs*5) in the MSH6 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the ExAC database. Loss-of-function variants in MSH6 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18269114, 24362816). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
