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.

Variant summary: MSH6 c.-6G>C is located in the untranslated mRNA region upstream of the initiation codon. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 244056 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00017 within the East Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.-6G>C has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with prostate cancer (So_2022) without strong evidence for causality. This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Lynch Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified it as VUS (n=2) and as Likely Benign (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

The MSH6 c.-6G>C variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the UMD-LSDB database. The variant was identified in dbSNP (rs730881822) as â€šÃ„Ãºwith likely benign, uncertain significance alleleâ€šÃ„Ã¹ and ClinVar (classified as likely benign by Color and as uncertain significance by Counsyl). The variant was identified in control databases in 4 of 275,382 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00002 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the East Asian population in 4 of 19,390 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002), but not observed in the African, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, Finnish, European, Other, or South Asian populations. The variant lies 6 base pairs upstream of the ATG start site and is part of the Kozak consensus sequence, which is important for translation initiation. Although a Guanine nucleotide is generally present at the -6 position, it is known to vary at this position. The variant occurs at a non-highly conserved nucleotide outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -
