MSH6: PM2, BP1 -
Observed in individuals with endometrial or thyroid cancer (PMID: 37894291, 29684080); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 23621914, 29684080, 17531815, 21120944, 37894291) -

The MSH6 c.2950A>C; p.Asn984His variant (rs146359682) is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 186492). This variant is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.002% (5/223886 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The asparagine at codon 984 is weakly conserved, but computational analyses (SIFT, PolyPhen-2) predict that this variant may be deleterious. However, a different bioinformatics tool (CoDP) developed specifically to predict the impact of missense variants on MSH6, suggests that this variant does not impact MSH6 protein (Terui 2013). However, given the lack of clinical and functional data, the significance of the p.Asn984His variant is uncertain at this time. REFERENCES Terui H et al. CoDP: predicting the impact of unclassified genetic variants in MSH6 by the combination of different properties of the protein. J Biomed Sci. 2013 Apr 28;20:25. -
Lynch syndrome 5 Uncertain:3
This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance as there is insufficient evidence to determine its impact on protein function and/or cancer risk. -
- -
This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -
Lynch syndrome Uncertain:2
This missense variant replaces asparagine with histidine at codon 984 of the MSH6 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with pancreatic cancer (PMID: 29684080). This variant has been identified in 5/223886 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
The p.N984H variant (also known as c.2950A>C), located in coding exon 4 of the MSH6 gene, results from an A to C substitution at nucleotide position 2950. The asparagine at codon 984 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration was identified in an individual diagnosed with uterine cancer at 70 who had a family history of colorectal cancer (Walker R et al. Cancers (Basel), 2023 Oct;15:). This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

not specified Uncertain:1
Variant summary: MSH6 c.2950A>C (p.Asn984His) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.2e-05 in 223886 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.2950A>C in individuals affected with Lynch Syndrome and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Eight clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
