not provided Uncertain:1
This variant is denoted MSH6 c.1978A>C at the cDNA level, p.Lys660Gln (K660Q) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Lysine to a Glutamine (AAA>CAA). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. MSH6 Lys660Gln was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, suggesting it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Lysine and Glutamine differ in some properties, this is considered a semi-conservative amino acid substitution. MSH6 Lys660Gln occurs at a position that is conserved across species and is located in domain II of the MutS domain (Terui 2013). In silico analyses are inconsistent regarding the effect this variant may have on protein structure and function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether MSH6 Lys660Gln is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
The p.K660Q variant (also known as c.1978A>C), located in coding exon 4 of the MSH6 gene, results from an A to C substitution at nucleotide position 1978. The lysine at codon 660 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been identified in conjunction with a pathogenic MSH2 mutation in an individual with MSH2/MSH6 deficient colorectal cancer whose family met Amsterdam criteria (Chiaravalli AM et al. Eur J Cancer Prev, 2020 07;29:281-288). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
