Variant summary
Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -9 ACMG points: 0P and 9B. BP4_StrongBP6BS1
The NM_000179.3(MSH6):āc.663A>Cā(p.Glu221Asp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000748 in 1,612,862 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 1 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 14/22 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Likely benign in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. E221K) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 27153395, 28767289, 17453009, 18269114, 24728327, 23621914, 26300997, 22290698, 21153778, 23047549, 26898890, 26333163, 17344846, 28531214, 28481244, 28874130, 29575718, 18301448, 31159747, 32854451) -
Variant summary: The MSH6 c.663A>C (p.Glu221Asp) variant causes a missense change involving a non-conserved nucleotide with 5/5 in silico tools predict a benign outcome, although these predictions have yet to be functionally assessed. The variant of interest was observed in the large, broad control population, ExAC, with an allele frequency of 75/119664 (1/1595), which is approximately 4 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic MSH6 variant of 1/7037 (0.0001421), suggesting this variant is likely a benign polymorphism. The variant of interest has been reported in multiple affected individuals via publications. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/databases cite the variant as "likely benign/benign." Therefore, taking all available lines of evidence into consideration, the variant of interest has been classified as Benign. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Benign:6
- -
- -
This alteration is classified as 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. -
- -
The p.Glu221Asp variant is not predicted to introduce a novel splice site by any splice site algorithm. The p.Glu221Asp missense variant is predicted to be tolerated by both SIFT or PolyPhen2. The aspartic acid residue at codon 221 of MSH6 is present in Prairie vole and 2 other mammalian species. The nucleotide c.663 in MSH6 is not conserved according to a GERP++ and PhyloP analysis of 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Benign. -

Lynch syndrome 5 Uncertain:2Benign:1
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. -
This variant is considered benign. This variant has been observed in trans with a known pathogenic variant in one or more individuals lacking clinical features consistent with gene-specific recessive disease. This variant has been observed at a population frequency that is significantly greater than expected given the associated disease prevalence and penetrance. -

Carcinoma of colon Benign:1
The MSH6 p.Glu221Asp variant was identified in 7 of 1567 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.004) from individuals or families with colorectal cancer (Devlin 2008, Steinke 2008, Bodian 2014, Liccardo 2017, Overbeek 2007, Simbolo 2015). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs41557217) as "With Uncertain significance, other allele ", ClinVar (classified as benign by Invitae, Ambry Genetics and one clinical laboratory; as likely benign by GeneDx and four clinical laboratories; as uncertain significance by tree submitters), COGR, Cosmic (1x in Haematopoietic and lymphoid tissue), MutDB, UMD-LSDB (3x as unclassified variant), Mismatch Repair Genes Variant Database (1x), and in Insight Hereditary Tumors Database (2x VUS). The variant was not identified in Zhejiang University Database. The variant was identified in control databases in 189 of 275098 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0007 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 6 of 23956 chromosomes (freq: 0.0003), Other in 3 of 6442 chromosomes (freq: 0.0005), Latino in 12 of 34380 chromosomes (freq: 0.0003), European in 133 of 126092 chromosomes (freq: 0.001), East Asian in 1 of 18824 chromosomes (freq: 0.00005), Finnish in 1 of 24524 chromosomes (freq: 0.00004), and South Asian in 33 of 30752 chromosomes (freq: 0.001), while the variant was not observed in the Ashkenazi Jewish population. The p.Glu221 residue is conserved in mammals but not in more distantly related organisms however computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In addition, in functional assay using oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis screen the variant was not identified as MMR abrogating; the variant was found in patients who also harbored a second, known pathogenic mutation in one of the DNA MMR genes that was likely causative for the LS phenotype (Houlleberghs 2017). The p.Glu221Asp was also detected in a second patient who was 83 years old and did not have a family history suspicious for LS. The observation of this variant with a co-occurring pathogenic variant (MLH1, EXON05-8, c.381-?_677del+?) by our laboratory increases the likelihood this variant does not have clinical significance. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. -
