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]

This variant is considered likely pathogenic. This variant occurs within a consensus splice junction and is predicted to result in abnormal mRNA splicing of either an out-of-frame exon or an in-frame exon necessary for protein stability and/or normal function. -

In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Donor and acceptor splice site variants typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in MSH6 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 24362816, 18269114). This variant has been reported in an individual affected with ovarian cancer (PMID: 21388660). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 8 of the MSH6 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. -

The c.3801+1delG intronic variant, located in intron 8 of the MSH6 gene, results from a deletion of the first nucleotide within intron 8 of the MSH6 gene. This alteration has been identified in an ovarian cancer patient and in 1/369 Swedish Lynch syndrome families (Ketabi Z et al. Gynecol Oncol. 2011 Jun 1;121(3):462-5; Lagerstedt-Robinson K et al. Oncol Rep. 2016 Nov;36(5):2823-2835). This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Using the BDGP and ESEfinder splice site prediction tools, the strength of the native donor splice site is maintained, but shifted upstream one nucleotide resulting in a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.A1268Hfs*4); however, direct evidence is unavailable. This alteration is predicted to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
