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]

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

PM2_Supporting, PP3_Moderate, PP4_Strong c.1754T>C, located in exon 4 of the MSH6 gene, is predicted to result in the substitution of Leu by Pro at codon 585, p.(Leu585Pro). It is not present in the population database gnomAD v2.1.1, non cancer dataset (PM2_supporting). Computational tools for this variant suggest no significant impact on splicing and predict a deleterious effect on protein function (MAPP+PolyPhen-2 prior probability for pathogenicity: 0.96 > 0.81) (PP3_moderate). This variant has been described as founder mutation in Island population –identified in 9 probands by WGS (PMID: 28466842). This variant has been reported in conjunction with another MSH6 alteration (p.S677T) in an individual diagnosed with colon cancer at age 38 whose tumor showed high microsatellite instability and intact MLH1, MSH2, and PMS2 staining on immunohistochemistry (IHC), but inconclusive MSH6 staining. Furthermore, in vitro MMR assays showed that the p.L585P alteration displayed deficient MMR activity and expession, while the second variant, p.S677T, displayed proficient MMR activity (PMID 22581703). In addition, it has been reported in several individuals diagnosed with colorectal and/or endometrial cancer whose tumor results revealed loss of MSH6 on IHC (PMID: 25617771, 28466842, Ambry internal data). Also, this variant has been identified in 4 probands harbouring LS-associated tumors, three of them showing loss of expression of MSH6 (internal data) (PP4_Strong). This variant was also reported in an individual with ovarian cancer (PMID: 30322717). In addition, this variant has been reported in ClinVar (2x pathogenic, 8x likley pathogenic), LOVD (1x pathogenic, 13x uncertain significance) and also in the InSiGHT database as an as uncertain significance variant. Based on currently available information, the variant c.1754T>C should be considered a likely pathogenic variant. -

The p.L585P variant (also known as c.1754T>C), located in coding exon 4 of the MSH6 gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 1754. The leucine at codon 585 is replaced by proline, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been reported in conjunction with another MSH6 alteration (p.S677T) in an individual diagnosed with colon cancer at age 38 whose tumor showed high microsatellite instability and intact MLH1, MSH2, and PMS2 staining on immunohistochemistry (IHC), but inconclusive MSH6 staining. Furthermore, in vitro MMR assays showed that the p.L585P alteration displayed deficient MMR activity, while the second variant, p.S677T, displayed proficient MMR activity (Kantelinen J et al. Hum Mutat. 2012 Aug;33(8):1294-301). In addition, this alteration has been detected in several individuals diagnosed with colorectal and/or endometrial cancer whose tumor results revealed loss of MSH6 on IHC (Ambry internal data; Frolova AI et al. Gynecol. Oncol. 2015 Apr;137:7-13; Haraldsdottir S et al. Nat Commun. 2017 May;8:14755; Kral J et al. Oncol Lett, 2023 Jun;25:216). This alteration has also been identified in a cohort of 4,439 women with ovarian cancer (Carter NJ et al. Gynecol. Oncol., 2018 12;151:481-488). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. In addition, based on internal structural analysis, p.L585P is predicted to strongly perturb the structure of the ATPase domain; however, the local sensitivity of the region has not been well characterized (Warren JJ et al. Mol. Cell. 2007 May; 26(4):579-92). 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 alteration is likely to be pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: MSH6 c.1754T>C (p.Leu585Pro) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the connector domain (IPR007860) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 250308 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1754T>C has been reported in the literature in individuals affected or suspected to be affected with Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer (Lynch Sydrome; e.g., Kantelinin_2012, Cushman-Vokoun_2013, Haraldsdottir_2017, Pearlman_2019, Svensson_2022). However, no conclusive evidence for causality, such as cosegregation with disease in family studies, has been reported in these publications; therefore this evidence does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer. The variant has also been reported in an individual with endometrial cancer who had a family history of Lynch Syndrome-associated cancers and whose tumor tested MSH6-negative by IHC staining (e.g. Frolova_2015), a second individual with endometrial cancer (e.g., Kral_2023), and an individual with ovarian cancer (e.g. Carter_2018). At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, indicating that the variant impairs mismatch repair activity and results in unstable MSH6 protein when studied in vitro (e.g. Kantelinin_2012). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 30322717, 23773459, 25617771, 28466842, 22581703, 37153042, 30877237, 29887214, 35430768). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 89220). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The MSH6 c.1754T>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Leu585Pro. This variant was reported in an individual with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (Kantelinen J et al 2012. PubMed ID: 22581703). In a large study from Iceland, the c.1754T>C variant was detected as a germline variant in 9 patients with mismatch repair deficiency colorectal cancer (Table 1 in Haraldsdottir et al 2017. PubMed ID: 28466842). This variant was also reported in an individual with ovarian cancer (Carter NJ et al 2018. PubMed ID: 30322717) and a patient with endometrial cancer with a family history of Lynch Syndrome-associated cancers (Frolova AI et al 2015. PubMed ID: 25617771). In vitro mismatch repair assays indicate this variant impacts protein function (Kantelinen J et al 2012. PubMed ID: 22581703). This variant has not been reported in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org) and is reported by most labs in ClinVar as likely pathogenic or pathogenic (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/89220/). This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 585 of the MSH6 protein (p.Leu585Pro). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of Lynch syndrome (PMID: 22581703, 23773459, 25617771, 30877237). Invitae Evidence Modeling of clinical and family history, age, sex, and reported ancestry of multiple individuals with this MSH6 variant has been performed. This variant is expected to be pathogenic with a positive predictive value of at least 99%. This is a validated machine learning model that incorporates the clinical features of 1,370,736 individuals referred to our laboratory for MSH6 testing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 89220). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt MSH6 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects MSH6 function (PMID: 22581703). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
