Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PVS1PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000179.3(MSH6):c.3880_3892delTGTCCTAAAAGCT(p.Cys1294MetfsTer29) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type DEL_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. C1294C) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

Lynch syndrome 5 Pathogenic:1
This variant is considered pathogenic. This variant creates a frameshift predicted to result in premature protein truncation. -
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms Pathogenic:1
This sequence change results in a premature translational stop signal in the MSH6 gene (p.Cys1294Metfs*29). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 67 amino acids of the MSH6 protein. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with MSH6-related disease. Two similar MSH6 variants, c.3959_3962delCAAG, creating a frameshift at codon 1320 (p.Ala1320Glufs*6), and c.3984_3987dupGTCA, creating a frameshift at codon 1330 (p.Leu1330Valfs*12), have been reported as Ashkenazi Jewish founder mutations known to cause Lynch syndrome (PMID: 21155762). While no functional studies have been performed to test the effects of this particular variant on MSH6 protein function or stability, it is expected to delete the C-terminal portion of the conserved MutS domain (PMID: 17531815, 24100870). This domain is necessary for the heterodimerization of MSH6 and MSH2 (PMID: 15952900, 16464007). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
