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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.

This pathogenic variant is denoted MSH6 c.2028_2029delAA at the cDNA level and p.Ser677Ter (S677X) at the protein level. The substitution creates a nonsense variant, which changes a Serine to a premature stop codon (AGT>TGA), and is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This variant was observed in at least one individual with colorectal cancer, whose tumor exhibited microsatellite instability and absence of MSH6 protein on immunohistochemistry (Graham 2015). This variant is considered pathogenic. -

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 419704). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with colorectal cancer (PMID: 26099011). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser677*) 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). -

The c.2028_2029delAA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 4 of the MSH6 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 2028 to 2029, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.S677*). This mutation has been reported in a female patient with a colon tumor that was MSH6 negative by IHC analysis (Graham RP et al. Am. J. Surg. Pathol. 2015 Oct;39:1370-6). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, 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. -

The MSH6 p.Ser677* variant was identified in the literature however the frequency of this variant in an affected population was not provided. The variant was also identified in ClinVar (classified as pathogenic by GeneDx and Invitae). The variant was not identified in dbSNP, GeneInsight-COGR, Cosmic, UMD-LSDB, Zhejiang University Database, Mismatch Repair Genes Variant Database, or Insight Hereditary Tumors databases. The variant was not identified in the following control databases: the 1000 Genomes Project, the NHLBI GO Exome Sequencing Project, the Exome Aggregation Consortium (August 8th 2016), or the Genome Aggregation Database (Feb 27, 2017). The c.2028_2029del variant leads to a premature stop codon at position 677 which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. Loss of function variants of the MSH6 gene are an established mechanism of disease in MSH6 associated cancers and is the type of variant expected to cause the disorder. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 1 of 5 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In addition, review of MMR immunohistochemistry on the mutation revealed complete loss of MSH6 (Graham 2015). In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -
