The ENST00000234420.11(MSH6):βc.2269_2270delβ(p.Thr757ProfsTer6) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,878 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (β β ). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. T757T) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.
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]

Variant summary: MSH6 c.2269_2270delAC (p.Thr757ProfsX6) 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. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251080 control chromosomes (gnomAD). To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.2269_2270delAC in individuals affected with Lynch Syndrome and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and both classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

This deletion of 2 nucleotides in MSH6 is denoted c.2269_2270delAC at the cDNA level and p.Thr757ProfsX6 (T757PfsX6) at the protein level. The normal sequence, with the bases that are deleted in brace, is AGGA[AC]CCTA. The deletion causes a frameshift, which changes a Threonine to a Proline at codon 757, and creates a premature stop codon at position 6 of the new reading frame. Although this variant has not, to our knowledge, been reported in the literature, it is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. we consider this variant to be pathogenic. -
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Thr757Profs*6) 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 variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MSH6-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 234448). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
The c.2269_2270delAC pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 4 of the MSH6 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 2269 to 2270, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.T757Pfs*6). 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. -
