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]

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This frameshift variant alters the translational reading frame of the MSH6 mRNA and causes the premature termination of MSH6 protein synthesis. It has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). In the published literature, the variant has been identified in individuals with colorectal cancer (PMID: 22081473 (2012)) and endometrial/pancreatic cancer (PMID: 26687385 (2016)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.3477delC pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 6 of the MSH6 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 3477, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted immediate stop codon (p.Y1159*). This pathogenic mutation has been reported in an individual diagnosed with colon cancer at age 59 whose tumor showed high microsatellite instability and absent MSH6 expression on IHC (van Lier MG et al. J. Pathol. 2012 Apr;226(5):764-74). This mutation was also identified in an Ashkenazi Jewish woman with endometrial and pancreatic cancers whose family history met Amsterdam II criteria (Yablonski-Peretz T et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2016 Jan;155(1):133-8). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant deletes 1 nucleotide in exon 6 of the MSH6 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of MSH6 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: MSH6 c.3477delC (p.Tyr1159X) 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 (eg. c.3514dupA (p.Arg1172fsX5), c.3991C>T (p.Arg1331X)). The variant was absent in 251396 control chromosomes (gnomAD) but has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with colorectal cancer, endometrium cancer and pancreatic cancer (e.g. vanLier_2012, Yablonski-Peretz_2015). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Two other variants with a different nucleotide change (c.3477C>A and c.3477C>G) resulting in same truncation (p.Tyr1159X) have been reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic by us and others in ClinVar. Two ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite this variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr1159*) 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 not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with colorectal, endometrial, and pancreatic cancers (PMID: 22081473, 26687385). 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: 428395). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
