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.

MSH6 links:

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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Feb 21, 2023	This missense variant replaces lysine with arginine at codon 646 of the MSH6 protein. Computational prediction tool 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 performed for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 26689913, 30982232), and in an individual affected with endometrial cancer that did not meet Amsterdam II criteria or revised Bethesda guidelines (PMID: 31307542). This variant has been identified in 9/251204 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. -
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Jul 10, 2018	This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

Variant summary: MSH6 c.1937A>G (p.Lys646Arg) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the connector domain (IPR007860) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function, in addition, a bioinformatics tool developed to predict the impact of missense variants in MSH6, indicated no impact on protein function (Terui 2013). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.6e-05 in 251204 control chromosomes, predominantly within the East Asian subpopulation at a frequency of 0.00043 in the gnomAD database, which is higher than the expected maximum for a pathogenic variant in MSH6 (0.00014), supporting a benign role for the variant. c.1937A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Lu_2015, Wang_2019, Samuel_2019, Yehia_2018), and one of these individuals had a positive family history for colon cancer (Samuel_2019). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Lynch Syndrome. Co-occurrences with other pathogenic variant(s) have been reported (MSH6, p.K1228fs*2), providing supporting evidence for a benign role (Yehia_2018). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Four submitters have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant in ClinVar after 2014, and classified the variant as VUS (3x) or likely benign (1x). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign. -

The MSH6 p.Lys646Arg variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the GeneInsight-COGR, MutDB, UMD-LSDB, Insight Colon Cancer Gene Variant Database, Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database, Mismatch Repair Genes Variant Database, or Insight Hereditary Tumors databases. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs201096652) as â€šÃ„ÃºWith Uncertain significance alleleâ€šÃ„Ã¹, in ClinVar and Clinvitae (classified as uncertain significance by Invitae, GeneDx and Color Genomics; and likely benign by Ambry Genetics), and COSMIC databases (confirmed somatic in one case of gastric adenocarcinoma). The variant was identified in control databases in 8 of 245948 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00003 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). Breakdown of the observations by population include East Asian in 7 of 17248 chromosomes (freq: 0.0004), and South Asian in 1 of 30782 chromosomes (freq: 0.00003) while the variant was not observed in the African, Other, Latino, European Non-Finnish, Ashkenazi Jewish, or Finnish populations. The p.Lys646 residue is conserved in in mammals but not in more distantly related organisms however computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -
