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]

Lynch syndrome Pathogenic:1

Feb 07, 2018

University of Washington Department of Laboratory Medicine, University of Washington

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The MSH6 p.C1241Y variant has has been reported once in a woman with ovarian cancer (Pal 2012). The variant occurs at a position that is evolutionarily conserved. Testing performed on tumor tissue of a patient with constitutional MSH6 p.C1241Y variant supports that this variant is likely pathogenic. Specifically, in the patient's tumor the constitutional MSH6 variant was seen with a single somatic mutation at heterozygous freqency in MSH6 in the tumor, without evidence of loss of heterozygosity at MSH6 . -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1

Sep 10, 2024

Ambry Genetics

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.C1241Y variant (also known as c.3722G>A), located in coding exon 8 of the MSH6 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 3722. The cysteine at codon 1241 is replaced by tyrosine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. In one study, this alteration was detected in 1/1893 individuals with epithelial ovarian cancer and was predicted to be pathogenic based on in silico prediction models (Pal T et al. Br. J. Cancer 2012 Nov; 107(10):1783-90). This alteration has been observed in at least one individual with a personal and/or family history that is consistent with MSH6-related disease (Ambry internal data). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. 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. -

Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Uncertain:1

Sep 19, 2023

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt MSH6 protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 428361). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Lynch syndrome (PMID: 23047549, 30877237). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1241 of the MSH6 protein (p.Cys1241Tyr). -
